He imagined her in those colors and smiled.  "Each would look good, I think, but I am merely a man, so I would have gone with your favorite."  He winked.  "Best let you do that choosing."  He paused though.  "Hmm red?  Crimson?  I think a formal gown of that color would be perfect for you.  With diamonds at your neck and ears perhaps." 

Gus smiled.  "Nice to meet you, ma'am.  And congratulations to the both of you.  I'll take care of the mare, Mr. Vaughn no worries at all."

Lorn nodded and led the way to the stable.  The yard was mainly empty as the carriages were out working, but there were a couple there just in case someone was scheduled that day or for someone coming to call them.  Inside the stables there were stalls on either side as they walked.  Some full of horses that rented the stall, some were of Vaughn's stock.  Then there were clean stalls ready to be used.  The whole place was clean and organized.  The horses inside were being fed or rubbed down or just relaxing watching as Karen and Lorn walked past.

The office was down the other end of the large hallway they were walking in.  Lorn opened the door and introduced Karen to the manager.  He also gave his congratulations to them in a friendly manner.   Lorn looked to Karen with an apologetic glance.  "Do you mind sitting her while I visit with him about a few things going on here before we go shopping?"  He asked.
