There was also another observation made by several of the wedding-guests, friends of Harry, who were then at Wyllys-Roof for the first time, and it becomes our duty to record the remark, since it related to no less a person than the bride; it was observed that she was not as pretty as a bride should be. "Mrs. Harry Hazlehurst is no beauty, certainly," said Albert Dangler to Orlando Flyrter.
Towards the end of the ride, however, the young lady relaxed a little in her vigilance; when they reached a turnpike-gate, about two miles from Wyllys-Roof, she suddenly proposed to Bob de Vaux to run a race with Elinor and Mr. Ellsworth. "What do you say to it, Miss Wyllys?" "Excuse me; I had much rather not." "Oh, but you don't know what I mean. Now, you and Mr.

Mrs.
He determined, at least, to leave Longbridge, for a time, and remain in Philadelphia, until the Grahams were settled in New York. The same evening, as the family at Wyllys-Roof, and himself, were sitting together, he announced his intention. "Can I do anything for you, in Philadelphia, Elinor?" he asked; "I shall have to go to town, to-morrow, and may be detained a week or ten days."
