"It's early for 'em." "I believe this is your doing," said Grey sulkily.
Leslie Grey was about to rate the girl for her remarks to the cook, but Robb interrupted him. "Well, how does the bridegroom feel?" he asked cheerily. "Shut up!" "What's the matter? Cranky on your wedding morning?" pursued the town clerk irrepressibly. "I wish to goodness you'd keep your mouth shut.
