'Janet will be at home presently, I hope, said Annaple, 'but she got a cut with some broken glass, and we sent her round by Dr. Raymond's to get it set to rights. Oh, John! we came to grief on Bluepost Bridge after all, and I'm afraid Robinson has got his leg broken! Sir John was a good-natured heavy man, whose clever wife thought for him in all that did not regard horses, dogs, and game.
Blanche's letter recorded sundry scattered particulars, as to how well the rowan-trimmed tulle dresses looked how every one was packed into the carriages for the long drive how there had been a triumphal arch erected over the Bluepost Bridge itself, and Annaple nearly choked with laughing at the appropriateness how, to her delight, a shower began, and the procession out of the church actually cried out for umbrellas how papa, when performing the ceremony, could not recollect that the bride's proper name was Annabella, and would dictate it as Anna-Maria, Sir John correcting him each time sotto voce how Basil and little Hilda Delmar walked together and 'looked like a couple of ducks, which, it was to be hoped, was to be taken metaphorically how dreadfully hard the ice on the wedding-cake was, so that when Annaple tried to cut it the knife slipped and a little white dove flew away and hit May, which everyone said was a grand omen that she would be the next bride, while of course Annaple was perfectly helpless with mirth.

I know we shall come to grief over Bluepost Bridge, and now there will be treble weight to break it down.
She was so seldom thrown among people whom she could admire and look up to. Annaple told her husband of Nuttie's vehement repudiation of any intention of marriage. 'I am sure she meant it, she observed, 'it was only a little too strong.
