The Boarder, Lily Rose, and naturally all the Jenkinses, want you to perform the ceremony. The Boarder, being shy and retiring, forbore to ask you, and Amarilly for some reason desired me to ask you if you would officiate, and I assured her you would gladly do so." "I should have felt hurt," replied John with a happy smile, "if they had asked anyone else to marry them.
You have been really romantic, and most generous and noble; only the shop smells! But, never mind, promise me you will not enter it. 'I hope not, said Evan. 'You do hope that you will not officiate?

He furnished ices and confectionery for aristocratic balls and parties, and didn't disdain to officiate as leader of the orchestra at the same; for Pettingil played on the violin, as Pepper Whitcomb described it, "like Old Scratch."

It is a sufficient motive for thee to remain with us, in order to officiate as a member of the Sanhedrin, and teach the Torah. We, on our part, want to retain thee, only that thou mightest in difficult cases enlighten our eyes; for thou wert the man who gave us good and fair counsel, to which God Himself could not refuse His assent."
Two of the Miss Halls were to officiate also, and it would be taken as a great favour if Miss Lawrie would make a fourth.
