The arrival of Uncle Ith was the only event that had drawn this good-natured party from their retreat; and those who watched for their reappearance were disappointed. In the other room, the bride had been dressing for several hours, and was still hard at it, under the immediate supervision of the indefatigable Mrs. Crull, Mrs. Frump, and the two bridesmaids.
'Tho do I, Gwynne; the ith very nice, tho kind to the children, and not tho thatirical to me as the uthed to be. I uthed to be afraid of her, but I am not now, at all. Don't you think thatirical people very dithagreeable? I hope Winnie won't be thatirical, don't you? Mamma thaith 'Never mind what she says, my dear. I hope Freda will come.
Magruder, magnificently soldierly, with much of manner and rich colour, magnanimously forgetful this morning of "other important duties" and affably debonair though his eyelids dropped for want of sleep, came gradually to halt in his fluent speech. "Weally, you can't talk forever to a potht! If thilenthe be golden he ith the heavietht weight of hith time."

There ith one at Tht Jameth'th, with a pale face and black hair, and thuch a beautiful voice. Ith Mr Prothero going to Tht Jameth'th? 'You shall ask him yourself; I daresay he will like you to seem interested. 'Are you going to Tht Jameth'th, Mr Prothero? inquired Miss Nugent, when that young man entered the room shortly after. 'I beg your pardon, I do not quite understand what you mean.
"'I got mother's ring, says the cook, 't' prove it. "'Tumm, says Liz t' me, 'you ithn't wantin' t' get married, ith you? "'No, Liz, says I. 'Not, says I, 't' you. "'No, says she. 'Not t' me' She took me round the turn in the road. 'Tumm, says she, 'I 'low I'll wed that man. I wanth t' get away from here, says she, lookin' over the hills.

Steering leaned far out of the window, eager for the lad's music. It was so sweet.
