Whose Do You Think This Was

where did it come from? I asked my couisn. I found it over there in the chest. The chest had finally been opened! I stared at the velvet spider bag in her hand. It had probably been a distant relatives. It was fashioned out of turquoise velvet. There was a beaded spider on it and gold tassels. Do you want it?I asked my cousin.She shook her head "no". Whose do you think this was? I asked my mother. She said “No idea, maybe mom’s?” I could not see her mother with it. A chubby farmer’s wife with eleven children Who always had flour on her apron. This was an opera bag. A bag that should have been in Paris or Milan. Can I have it? I asked. It was the most gorgeous piece of the Victorian era I had ever seen. Whatever for? Asked my mother. A woman who despised old things.
