Betty's own clothes were in course of manufacture, not many but rich, as should become the Lady of Belton; above all, her wedding-gown of dove-coloured and silver brocade, all trimmed with strings and strings of orient pearls which John Johnstone had brought her one day.
When the ball began, he was too vain of his rank and precedency to suffer any one else to lead the bride down the first dance; but she was not, I believe, much obliged to him for his politeness; it cost her the tail of her wedding-gown and a broken nail, and she continued lame during the remainder of the night.
The particular sample is not vital to the trade, but the grade of goods is. She is selected much as the bride of the Vicar of Wakefield chose her wedding-gown, only that the one was at least cut to suit, while the other is not.

The next day, being Sunday, we all went to high mass at the Duomo, and I wore my new wedding-gown of black cashmere.

That tan canvas is a beauty, and so is the red foulard. She is really a very good dressmaker." "I think so too, dear," Charlotte agreed. "I like the wedding-gown, too." "Yes, so do I; it is very pretty, though that does not so much matter." "Why, Ina Carroll!" Ina laughed mischievously. "Now I have shocked you, dear.
She kept that in a box covered over with paper so that no damp should get to it, and she was always folding it and seeing that the moth did not touch it, and she was talking of it when I came in at the door. She thought that I had come to steal it from her. The neighbours told me that that was the way she always was, thinking that someone had come to steal her wedding-gown."
He was slipping away into sleep when he realised that Guida was singing "Spin, spin, belle Mergaton! The moon wheels full, and the tide flows high, And your wedding-gown you must put it on Ere the night hath no moon in the sky Gigoton Mergaton, spin!" "I had never thought she was so much a woman," he said drowsily; "I I wonder why I never noticed it."
