"That is a free gift, Dicky," she said. "And it is worth more than all the having and holding in the world." It was on a misty evening of autumn that Vera Fielding entered her husband's house once more like a bride returning from her wedding-trip.
Say, why don't you and Miss Earle get married and make this a wedding-trip? She could go to the Pacific coast with you. It would be a nice trip. Then I could spare you for a month or six weeks when you got back if you wanted to take her East for a little visit." Why not? Gardley stumbled out his thanks and hung up the receiver, his face full of the light of a great joy.
He was enamoured of a fair young English lady, with a sufficient fortune, and they were going to be married. It was the wedding-trip, in short, that we were going to take. Did I know that place? Yes; I told him I knew it well. It was an old palace with great gardens.
However, it must be all right, for he said he should need your help in buying the coast branches and The Short Line." "The Short Line," gasped Glover. "Well, I haven't inventoried lately. If we marry in June " "Don't worry about that, for we sha'n't marry in June, my love." "But when we do, we shall need some money for a wedding-trip " "We certainly shall; a lot of it, dearie."
They had a lady-missionary, and one of their own people too. The Mackays went on a wedding-trip through the country. Kai Bok-su walked, as usual, and his wife rode in a sedan-chair. The wedding-trip was really a missionary tour; for they visited all the chapels, and the women came to the meetings in crowds, because they wanted to hear and see the lady who had married Kai Bok-su.
The stout old English waiter who attended to their wants very speedily withdrew. "He thinks we are on our wedding-trip," said Nap. She glanced at him sharply. "Yes, I let him have it so," he returned. "I never destroy a pretty illusion if I can help it." "What time do we start back?" said Anne, aware of burning cheeks, which he was studying with undisguised amusement.
"I wish you could see the bird of paradise my Birdie bought when her and Simon was in Kansas City on their wedding-trip you can believe me or not, a yard long! How that man spends money on that girl, Mrs. Lissman!" "Say, when you got it to spend I always say it's right. He's in a good business and makes good money." "You should know how good."
She closed the door quickly, shutting out the sight. How it sounded like an Epitaph, but still she would not cry; how she thinks of the Beach again, and hugs a Hateful Word to her Bosom; and Hugo starts suddenly on a sort of Wedding-Trip. In her own room Carlisle was seized with a wild desire to cry. Her spirit, shocked past bearing, demanded this instant relief.
A woman bent on her marriage is a woman who can meet the objections of the whole world, single-handed, and refute them all. "I have provided for every thing," she said, "and I have provided for that. I shall tell the landlady I am on my wedding-trip. I shall say my husband is sight-seeing, on foot, among the mountains in the neighborhood " "She is sure to believe that!" said Geoffrey.
Told her, too, that before leaving for their wedding-trip, he had given orders to have one of the other rooms prepared against their return. The reason this had not been done, the invaluable parlour-maid had informed him, was because the wardrobe he had particularly desired to be moved there had proved too big for the niche which was to have received it.
