Those good lady dwellers in the bush how it does delight them to promote the matrimonial felicity of others! How they do enjoy matchmaking! Every settler's wife, so soon as she has got over the exclusiveness of honeymoon happiness, does her best to induce her girl friends from the city to come and visit her. She is so lonely, she says poor thing!
It was from George Iredale, and I'm going to answer it at once." "And what are you going to say in your reply?" laughed Alice. "I know your matchmaking propensity. So does Robb." The quiet, dreamy face of the old school-mistress smiled over at the happy mother. "Say?" she exclaimed. "I'm going to give George a piece of my mind for staying away so long.
In every way the evening resembled the previous one; there were to be observed the same luscious flooding of the defile with dove-coloured mist, the same flashing of the silver crags in the roseate twilight, the same rocking of the dense, warm forest's soft, leafy tree-tops, the same softening of the rocks' outlines in the gloom, the same gradual uplift of shadows, the same chanting of the "matchmaking" river, the same routine on the part of the big, sleek carpenters around the barraque a routine as slow and ponderous in its course as the movements of a drove of wild boars.
One time I seen fifty of them above on the road to Rathdangan, and they all matchmaking and marrying themselves for the year that was to come. One man would take such a woman, and say he was going such roads and places, stopping at this fair and another fair, till he'd meet them again at such a place, when the spring was coming on.
You're a matchmaking old maid," declared Esmé, wrinkling her delicate nose at him, "and if you're ever put up for our sewing-circle I shall blackball you. Gossip!" "Oh, if I wanted to gossip, I'd begin to hint about the name of Surtaine." The girl's color did not change. "As other people have evidently been doing to you." "A little. Did you dance with him last night?" "He wasn't there.
"You know, Emily, I couldn't support two households now. Not the way things are. But if you'll wait. If you'll only wait. The girls might that is, Babe and Carrie " She was a sensible little thing, Emily. "Of course I'll wait. But we mustn't just sit back and let the years go by. We've got to help." She went about it as if she were already a little matchmaking matron.
You, a Sussex man!" "I have lived very little in Sussex, and I used to hate the place; I am only just beginning to like it." "And you don't like the Jesuits any more, because they go in for matchmaking." "They are too sly for me, I confess; I don't approve of priests meddling in family affairs. But tell me the legend." "Oh, how steep these roads are. At last, at last.
"Come, come, don't be anxious take Archie and settle it right up safely and happily. That's my advice, and you'll find it sound," replied the elder conspirator, like one having experience. "I'll think of it, but mind you, Mac, not a word of this to the sisters. We are a couple of old fools to be matchmaking so soon but I see what is before me and it's a comfort to free my mind to someone."
I never gave him no satisfaction about talking his praises to her, but I reckon I'm for the tie-up if Rose Mary can see it that way." And Mrs. Rucker glanced along the Road toward Rose Mary's milk-house with a kindly, though calculating matchmaking in her practical eyes. "I'm kinder for Mr. Mark," ventured the more sentimental Mrs. Poteet with a smile.
Not until he was once more on the floor of the observatory did he realize the form of the permission, and what relish its assumption of authority must give the matchmaking Mrs. Briscoe. Apparently, it did not impress Lillian as they stood together and she smilingly watched the group at the bungalow, when Archie was swung to a seat in the dog-cart beside his host.
