"Meanwhile," she demanded, "how am I to cook?" "Myself, missie," sighed Mr. Slee, "I don't see how you are going to cook." "We'll all have to tramp home again," thought Dick.

Soon after starting, the sleigh of the bride and groom fell behind and drove about rather aimlessly, apparently going nowhere in particular. This disturbed the groom, who thought they should arrive first and receive their guests.
