But only conceive, after all that has passed, Miss Broadhurst had the assurance to expect I would let my niece be her bride's-maid. Oh, I flatly refused; that is, I told Grace it could not be; and, that there might be no affront to Mrs. Broadhurst, who did not deserve it, I pretended Grace had never mentioned it; but ordered my carriage, and left Buxton directly.
No secret was made of the affair; but notice had been duly given that all at Clawbonny might be present. I left home at ten in the morning, in a very handsome carriage that had been built for the occasion, accompanied by Moses attired as a bride's-maid.
So she's frightfully jealous, is she, poor little duck? I say, though, you'd better keep me out of that girl's way; engaged or not, she'd mash any fellow. Now, what's up? Is that you, Alice? What a noisy one you are, to be sure!" Alice had rushed into the room followed by Sophy, who was followed again by Daisy Jenkins. "The bride's-maid dresses have come!" screamed Alice.
"Those would be gaiters, Moses, and I never heard of a bride's-maid in breeches and gaiters. No, you'll be obliged to come out like evervbody else." "Well, I care less for the dress than I do for the behaviour. Shall I be obliged to kiss Miss Lucy?" "No, not exactly Miss Lucy, but Mrs. Bride I believe it would not be a lawful marriage without that."
"Here she is, and doesn't her gown go wonderfully with the golden ball chrysanthemums?" panted Nellie. "Just like a picture," exclaimed Dolly Lloyd. "Be sure you carry them like a bride's-maid, Sally. Maybe a long time before you get another chance." "But what is this all about?" gasped Sally, a little bit frightened at the importance of the great sheaf of yellow blooms propped up in the corner.
"There will be a bride's-maid," she said. "The deuce!" he thought. "That didn't end it!" But he said no thing aloud. "Guess who!" "Why, how should I ?" "Guess!" she cried peremptorily, in a tone of bitter derision. "You won't? Well, it's Carolyn our poor, silly Carolyn! And what do you suppose she has started in to do? She is writing an epitha an epithal " " amium," contributed Cope.
And little Dolly shrugged her shoulders, and said, with a pretty pettishness, "Now, Father, you're not to tease! You know I don't want to be bride's-maid to anybody!" "And Dolly's to be the fourth," was her father's idiotic reply. Here Number Three put in her oar. "Oh, it is settled, Mother dear, really and truly! Mary told us all about it.
Grace was hurt, for she is very warm in her friendships. I am sorry to hurt Grace. But reelly I could not let her be bride's-maid: and that, if you must know, is what vexed her, and made the tears come in her eyes, I suppose and I'm sorry for it; but one must keep up one's dignity a little.
A very slender and very pale girl. She was leaning on Mr. Ingram's arm; she was beautiful. There was an expression on her face which melted hearts, and made eyes brim over with tears. A bride was coming up the church not Beatrice Meadowsweet not the girl who was beloved by all the town. Close behind the bride followed the principal bride's-maid. She was in a plain dress of white.
We stayed a good while, in order to see some people married. One couple, with their groomsman and bride's-maid, were sitting within the choir; but when the clergyman was robed and ready, there entered five other couples, each attended by groomsman and bride's-maid.
