You read in your local paper a sentence like this: "The bride's brother, who only arrived last week from Australia, where he held an important post under the Government, and is about to proceed on a tour through Canada with curiously enough a nephew of the bride-groom, gave her away." Well, what a mass of information has to be gleaned before that sentence can be written. Or this.
He often risked his life for a good sporting race; and he did not grudge giving it up during that last lap in the Argentine River when day was breaking. He was trying to help a friend to do the right sort of thing at considerable cost to them both, and, when all is said and done, none of us can do much better than that. Well, good luck and long life to bride and bride-groom!
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. 'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bride-groom. 'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
And now she is safe again, has he not a right to claim her? But Perseus laughed, and answered, 'If your son is in want of a bride, let him save a maiden for himself. As yet he seems but a helpless bride-groom. He left this one to die, and dead she is to him. I saved her alive, and alive she is to me, but to no one else.
Didn't it give you your opportunity?" The boy returns. The man sits on his bed and muses: "How differently things go in this world! See how easily Lockwin fell into all this luck! See how I have hewn the wood and drawn the water!" Something of disquiet takes possession of the bride-groom. "I'm awfully tired of consolatory epistles. I must keep Esther from being a hen. She's dreadfully in earnest."
Then came kissing and handshaking, a shower of violets and primroses upon the narrow churchyard path, a hearty huzza from the assembled village, all clustered about the oaken gate-posts.

He, in his priestly robes, read the marriage service with soft and impressive intonation, himself speaking the responses for the bride-groom, and taking Manella's hand he placed it on Seaton's, clasping the two together, the one so yielding and warm, the other stiff as marble, and setting the golden marriage ring which Morgana had given, on the bride's finger.
And although the entertainment was fixed for twelve o'clock, an hour previous to that time the balcony was filled with impatient and expectant guests, consisting of the favored part of the crew of the Pharaon, and other personal friends of the bride-groom, the whole of whom had arrayed themselves in their choicest costumes, in order to do greater honor to the occasion.
Is it because I have lived much in New England, where "ladies- in-waiting" are all too common, where the wistful bride-groom has an invalid mother to support, or a barren farm out of which he cannot wring a living, or a malignant father who cherishes a bitter grudge against his son's chosen bride and all her kindred, where the woman herself is compassed about with obstacles, dragging out a pinched and colourless existence year after year?
