"Please remember, dear child," she whispered, "that you are on exhibition as the ingenuously happy bride-to-be. If you are going to play the game this way, like the rest of them, why not be a good sport and play it for all there is in it? One owes it to one's partner, you know, not to reveal entirely the weakness of the hand that's just been dealt. You should smile at least a little!"
At last he was rolled out again, leaving behind him a memory of that exalted peace of countenance, and with a stifled groan the bride-to-be turned back to her room her period of reflection almost consumed. "It would kill him!" she moaned. "It would be murder. And that look! That happiness! I guess that will have to be my compensation."
He brings it out strongly in the last part of the song where the writer of the letter says: 'Half dreaming, I wonder: Is it I who write to thee, or thou to me? Then it ends with a distant clock striking the hour. Listen and you'll hear it." Listener and singer both intent on the song, neither heard the bride-to-be descending the stairs.
Morrison, who came to see them in their temporary quarters, kept up a somewhat satirical report as to the magnificence of the performance, and on the one occasion when they went to see Molly they found her flushed, excited, utterly inconsecutive, distracted by a million details, and accepting the situation as the normal one for a bride-to-be.
"Come," I said, "let's go to bed." Next night at dinner I proposed Sir Alister's health, and we all drank to him and his "bride-to-be." They had that day definitely settled the date of their marriage for two months ahead; Ethne was looking radiant and everyone seemed in the best of spirits. We danced and romped and played rowdy games like a pack of children.
Still their judgment confirmed the step; for, if they were to have the sadness of separation, they were to have the deep satisfaction of giving their daughter to a greater service. Miss Viola was busy most of the time preparing her trousseau. Many of the garments were made to order in Lexington, but much fancy work on delicate fabrics was done by the bride-to-be. The great day dawned at last.
Some neighbours were evidently offended, especially those who had sons to mate. Mrs. Vine had been very stiff when Ellen called with Alce. "Well, Arthur" ignoring the bride-to-be "I always felt certain you would marry Ansdore, but it was the head I thought you'd take and not the tail." "Oh, the tail's good enough for me," said Arthur, which Ellen thought clumsy of him.
It was only when I got ashore that I learned that his bride-to-be lived in Plymouth. We drove all over the town and part of the country. This is Devonshire, the country of cider and cream. I tried them both; they are excellent. It felt good to get ashore, but the voyage was so pleasant that we were sorry to part with our good ship and our captain.
Frau Hadebusch slapped Philippina on the hip, and smiled at her knowingly. Herr Francke was no longer living at Frau Hadebusch’s: he was in jail. He had promised to marry the cook of a certain distinguished family; but instead of hastening the coming of the happy day, he had gambled away the savings of his bride-to-be. Daniel had a letter of introduction to the Prior of the Monastery at Löhriedt.
They all went to see the bride-to-be then. She was hidden away in one of the adobe houses of the settlement near by, receiving congratulations from friends. She was a dark little creature, nicely demure and almost boisterously joyous by turns. But later Sylvia danced with Wayne, and he thought of a dozen, a score, of young fellows who would wish to meet her.
