The photographs on the walls, the twigs of withered box above the crucifixes, the old wedding-dresses in brass-clamped trunks, the bundles of letters laboriously written and as painfully deciphered, all the thousand and one bits of the past that give meaning and continuity to the present of all that accumulated warmth nothing was left but a brick-heap and some twisted stove-pipes!
And now equipages were finished, and wedding paraphernalia sent home the second time that wedding-dresses had been furnished for Miss Stanley; and never once were these looked at by the bride elect, nor even by Cecilia, but to see that all was as it should be that seen, she sighed, and passed on.
Beaumont's satisfaction and her own, in superintending the wedding-dresses, and in preparing the most elegant dress imaginable for herself, as bride's-maid. Now and then she interrupted these occupations with sighs and fits of pretty sentimental dejection; but Mrs. Beaumont was well convinced that a new lover would soon make her forget her disappointment.
My bride had one hundred wedding-dresses, elegant as a select committee of dress-makers and milliners, French and English, could devise.
"And you, Georgie," she said, "though I'm sure we are such strangers that I ought to call you Mr Pillson, what have you been doing? Playing Miss Bracely's accompaniments, and sewing wedding-dresses all day, and raising spooks all night? Yes." Lucia had caught this "Yes" from Lady Ambermere, having found it peculiarly obnoxious.
"If all the people got married that folks say are going to you'd have your time full making wedding-dresses," she said ironically. "Why don't you believe it?" Ally ventured. "It would not make it true if I did nor prevent it if I didn't." "That's so.... I only know I seen her crying the night of the party because her dress didn't set right. That was why she wouldn't dance any...."
Juniper would not take his daughter without the entirety of the sum stipulated, and would allow no portion of it to be expended on wedding-dresses. "Oh, Dick, is this you?" said Amelia. "I suppose you've come for your news." "Yes, it's me," he said, and then gave his hand all round, first to Mrs. Carroll and then to the girls. "I've seen Mr. Grey," said Mrs. Carroll.
Thus fifteen years went by, and the Queen had somewhat recovered from her grief, when the news reached her that the son of the wicked King wished to marry the little maiden who kept the turkeys, and that she had refused him; the wedding-dresses had been made, nevertheless, and the festivities were to be so splendid that all the people for leagues round were flocking in to be present at them.
"Mother don't want to give up her wedding-dress." "Women always have their wedding-dresses made over for their daughters," Elmira said, gravely. "What color is it?" "A real pretty green, with a little sheeny figure in it; and I am going to have a new ribbon on my bonnet." "It's 'most ten miles to Granby; hadn't I better get a team and take you over?" said Jerome.
