Meanwhile, Kate and Patty wrestled afresh with the automobile veil, and had succeeded in getting it tied in a limp string around the bridesmaid's neck, leaving all her head and face uncovered. And when the groom and the groomsman returned she, with a muffled gurgle, dived back into the seclusion of the tablecover. "We've got rid of those bounders," Hawley announced, and
"'Tis a bridesmaid's gown. I am out with men. I shall never wear a bride's gown." "Don't jest " "Jest! I never felt less like jesting! I laugh to keep from crying. Here is the coach." The great Fontenoy coach with the Churchill arms on the panel drew up before the porch. It was drawn by four horses, and driven by old Philip in a wig and nosegay.
Maud ran into the porch; startling him much, apparently; for indeed she was a sweet vision of youth, happiness, and grace, in her pretty bridesmaid's dress. "Is this the wedding-morning? I did not know I will come again to-morrow;" and he seemed eager to escape back to his carriage.
A knock at the bedroom door is followed by the entrance of two ladies, apparently mother and daughter; the former a portly and roseate dame, clad in the richest of brocades and white lace shawls the latter a thin and somewhat yellow damsel, a tired in white and pink bonnet and mantle to match, evidently in bridesmaid's gear.

She is waiting to see your bridesmaid's dress tried on."
