Though I think I googled koning and boerderij to see if they walked in mud. Then I got Maxima in high heels on several farms. Didn't google QE2 - not representative when it comes to clothing b/c of age. Also they are 60 years behind when it comes to children's clothing but that is another matter :-)by Lise - A Novel Idea

Chapter Fifty-Five The week went past as usual, except for the fuss about her pregnancy. It had taken everyone a while to form an impressive opinion, but towards the end of the week there had been various articles and discussions about what it meant to have a pregnant prime minister. There was nothing new, Anna Margaret felt. She was a bit tired of reading and hearing all the analyses. She hby Lise - A Novel Idea
It seems the international governing bodies in the swimming world find Dutch names confusing. Our older ones all have long official names like Johanna and Robertus. In real life they go by Annie and Rob. If Annie, Rob, Corry and Hans swim an international record, they get diplomas saying it was Johanna, Robertus, Cornelia and Johannes. And then the women's maiden names that they do not use while sby Lise - A Novel Idea
On what their rules are. Here, for example, you keep your name when you marry. But you are allowed to use your partner's name. A lot of the younger people go for the old-fashioned hyphen again. (What their mothers' generation started to be against. That is, if I hear someone be against it, it's someone in her 50/60s They would say the younger generations don't appreciate all the emancipating woby Lise - A Novel Idea
It is already sold out. I now see that on April 3rd there were only 2 tickets left. I didn't even know it existed on April 3rd. Oh well. I doubt it would work to pretend I'm still studying, given that you have to enter your student number if you order a ticket as a student and my student number began with 92xxxxx. Nobody studies that long...by Lise - Tea Room
Chapter Fifty-Four She had gone to the studios by car and the same car dropped her off at home. There was no crowd outside her house, but when she got out of the car one man still managed to walk up to her. “Anything to say about your pregnancy, Ms Rendinger? Whose child is it?” The people who usually asked her questions, asked them about her job. It had been a while since the last personal qby Lise - A Novel Idea

I was in the BasicFit when I read it on my phone, so I didn't copy the link. http://www.janeausten200.nl/ I saw a symposium at the UU - my alma mater, which caught my attention, with even a prof who taught classes I took. http://www.janeausten200.nl/evenement/symposium-uu/ But it's kind of soon and all day; I haven't looked yet if I can make it.

Chapter Fifty-Three Some people congratulated her at work, but she had the impression that the ones who worked closest to her and who had not yet been told had already been suspecting that she was pregnant. Few people seemed genuinely surprised. Not at her, anyway. “But the queen…” said one. “Yes?” Anna Margaret said, as if she did not know what the question was going to be about. “Isn’t shby Lise - A Novel Idea
Chapter Fifty-Two There was some more talk about how they were feeling and when the babies were due, but Frederick’s mother deflected the latter question politely. She was not at liberty to say, she said, and she asked for their privacy to be respected. “It’s not likely that anyone is going to care about our privacy,” said Frederick. “Or think that we have any right to some.

304 people in this country with the first name Wolf here in 2014, whereas there were only 283 and 233 with my children's names. Amazing.by Lise - A Novel Idea
There was something about his rowing. How he had just managed to get to compete under his own flag when his father died, so he wasn't about to give that up. Of course some explanation of how/when he got his girlfriend: why they didn't get to know each other better until then. I also reread the barbecue scene to see what his mother might have picked up. I deleted the bit where she explained how tby Lise - A Novel Idea
Chapter Fifty-One “But did he know his son was depressed?” asked the presenter. “Yes, he did. But he was brought up to believe certain things – about duties. Only outsiders can see that maybe those solutions don’t always work.” “That sounds difficult indeed,” the presenter agreed, although she might have meant cryptic. “And, Your Royal Highness, what did you think? As a mother? When your soby Lise - A Novel Idea

Chapter Fifty “They let me keep my title, so that means I still have power and authority,” Queen Florence said commandingly. “Someone had best remind Isabelle of this.” Frederick was not going to be that someone. “Three captains on a ship has never worked.” “Three? Who? I realise she appears to be the queen, but I am still the mater familias. Who are these three?” “Well, there’s Queen Florby Lise - A Novel Idea

Chapter Forty-Nine “I wish you would consider me,” Charlotte complained. “How do you think people at school will react? This is just what you do when you’re ancient, pretending you’re young by having a baby.” “I’ll put it in the basket of my rollator when I come to pick you up from school,” said Philip. “It’s not funny!” cried Charlotte and left the room. “I doubt the children at her schoolby Lise - A Novel Idea
Chapter Forty-Eight They finished their drinks and said goodbye to the three women. Apart from those three no one else appeared to have noticed them. Anna Margaret began to think it was not so strange that Frederick had been here before without being noticed. People were not all that observant if they were not expecting anything. She had thought that maybe he had been unrecognisable, but they dby Lise - A Novel Idea
Chapter Forty-Seven Anna Margaret wondered how he had gone into the souvenir shop on previous occasions and when. If he had not done his hair, people might not have recognised him. It was then no wonder they had never spoken to him. They had simply not known who he was. Now, however, he had been wearing his hair this way most of the time and people might have seen photos of him like this. Or thby Lise - A Novel Idea
Chapter Forty-Six Anna Margaret followed Frederick into one of the side gates. “We were seen,” she observed. “No doubt. It’s not the first time I’ve used this gate. The people who live across the street probably know all about it.” She looked over her shoulder at the buildings across the street. The ground floor was occupied by architects, but there were flats above it. The people living therby Lise - A Novel Idea

Chapter Twenty Philip put down the phone after he finished talking to his mother – or rather, after his mother finished talking to him. “You getting married?” asked Johnny, who had evidently picked something up from the phone call, even though he had come in when it was already ongoing. “I don’t know.” “To the blonde?” “Yes.” “Awesome,” said Johnny. “How did you seduce the blonde?” “I dby Lise - A Novel Idea
