She seemed to be unduly proud of the spectacular sacrifice. A knitted brow revealed the obfuscated condition of my brain. I was thinking very intently, not to say remotely. "The whole world talked about it," she went on dreamily. "We had a real prince for the best man, and two of the ushers couldn't speak a word of English.
It was equally astonishing to the aunts and uncles to find a parson introduced into Mr. Tulliver's family arrangements. As for uncle Pullet, he could hardly have been more thoroughly obfuscated if Mr.
