You dined by the side of my little friend yesterday; you had the entire evening in which to study her. Answer me frankly, would she not make the prettiest little Roman princess who could kneel in her wedding-gown at the tomb of the apostles?
Cruickshank appeared one day before he was expected, and before the wedding-gown was quite ready, but a note was sent to David, and he cycled down in his black suit. Miss Annie M'Minn, then at Ikotobong, came and dressed the bride, the children put on white frocks, and there was a quaint and picturesque wedding. There was also, of course, a breakfast. It was given in the verandah of the hut.
No women are more virtuous, more industrious, more religious, than ours; but our men our young men are a set of drinking gambling vagabonds. Go to thy room and pray there until supper." Elena ran out of an opposite door, and Doña Jacoba sat down on a high-backed chair and held out her hand for the wedding-gown. She examined it, then smiled brilliantly. "The lace is beautiful," she said.
My daughter covered it over with a piece of my departed wife her wedding-gown, which the Imperialists had indeed torn to pieces, but as they had left it lying outside, the wind had blown it into the orchard, where we found it. It was very shabby before, otherwise I doubt not they would have carried it off with them.
"You lack even the rudiments of good taste." "What's wrong with my clothes?" she demanded. "Everything," said he, succinctly, and with visible irritation. He remembered the wedding-gown, and his face twitched. She watched him intently. "Oh, all right. I said I'd obey, an' I will. I ain't forgettin'," said she, wearily. "Very well. I am glad you understand."
"Ay, life and love are dreams, dear, and a mad world spins them out of nothing.... Forgive me ... I have been sewing on my wedding-gown again. And it is nigh finished. "Good-night. I love you. Blindly I groped for the remaining letter and tore the seal. "Sir George has just had news of you from an Oneida who says you may be here at any moment!
Great preparations had been made in the hotel for the approaching marriage. The spacious private parlors to be used were perfect fairy bowers of roses and green leaves. Up to this very morning Miss Northrup's imported wedding-gown had not arrived. Mrs. Northrup and Hubert Varrick were wild with anxiety and impatience over the affair. Gerelda alone took the matter calmly.
I wouldn't have missed Dot, doing the honours in her wedding-gown, my benison on her bright face! for any money. No! nor the good Carrier, so jovial and so ruddy, at the bottom of the table. Nor the brown, fresh sailor-fellow, and his handsome wife. Nor any one among them.
Eugenia got the material in Paris when she ordered her wedding-gown, and they're to be made in Louisville after we get there." The light in Mary's face was deepening. "And Phil Tremont is to be there the entire month of June. He is to be best man, you know, since Eugenia is to marry his brother." "Oh, Joyce!" gasped Mary. "What a heavenly time you are going to have!
I have had one pale-faced boy, to be sure, who will sit at his mother's feet, and listen for hours to what took place before he was born. To him his mother's wedding-gown was as old as Eve's coat of skins. But then he was young enough not yet to have had a chance of losing the childhood common to the young and the old. Ah!
