It will all be one twenty years hence. After all, the Dean is an old frump, and papa does not care a bit about him." "But how are you to manage with Mr Newface?" asked Mr Whittlestaff. "That's the best part of it all. Mr Hall is such a brick, that when we come back from the Isle of Wight he is going to take us all in." "If that's the best of it, you can be taken in without me," said Kattie.
I think we'll go to Ryde, after all." "I'm so sorry, Mr Whittlestaff, that we can't expect the pleasure of seeing you at our wedding. It is, of course, imperative that Kattie should be married in the cathedral. Her father is one of the dignitaries, and could not bear not to put his best foot foremost on such an occasion. The Dean will be there, of course.
Mr Gordon was put up on one of the young ladies' steeds, the squire and the parson each had his own, and Miss Evelina was also mounted, as Mr Blake had suggested, perhaps with the view to the capture of Mr Gordon. "As it's your first day," whispered Mr Blake to Kattie, "it is so nice, I think, that the carriage and horses should all come out.
I have been married twice. My first wife was Sally Dillis Blaire and we were married in 1889. I got a divorce a few years later and I don't know whatever became of her. My second wife is still living. Her name was Kattie Belle Reed and I married her in 1907. No, I never had any children. I don't believe I had a bed when I was a slave as I don't remember any.
"And Gordon can come down to me," said Blake, uproariously, rubbing his hands; "and we can have three or four final days together, like two jolly young bachelors." "Speaking for yourself alone," said Kattie, "you'll have to remain a jolly young bachelor a considerable time still, if you don't mend your manners." "I needn't mend my manners till after I'm married, I suppose."
The four young ladies were about thirty, varying up from thirty to thirty-five. They were fair-haired, healthy young women, with good common-sense, not beautiful, though very like their father. "And now I must introduce you to Miss Forrester, Kattie Forrester," said Mr Blake, who was beginning to think that his own young lady was being left out in the cold. "Yes, indeed," said Mr Hall.
In the evening some of the sisters played a few pieces at the piano, and Miss Forrester sang a few songs. Mr Hall in the meantime went fast asleep. John Gordon couldn't but tell himself that his evenings at Kimberley were, as a rule, quite as exciting. But then Kattie Forrester did not belong to him, and he had not found himself able as yet to make a choice between the young ladies.
Our squire isn't a swell, though he's an uncommonly good fellow. If I get a wife from one and a living from the other, I shall think myself very lucky. Miss Lawrie is a handsome girl, and everything that she ought to be; but if you were to see Kattie Forrester, I think you would say that she was A 1. I sometimes wonder whether old Whittlestaff will think of marrying."
We're to have a month's honeymoon, only just a month, because Mr Lowlad won't make himself as agreeable as he ought to do about the services; and Newface, the plumber and glazier, says he can't have the house done as Kattie would like to live in it before the end of August. Where do you think we're going to, Miss Lawrie? You would never guess." "Perhaps to Rome," said Mary at a shot.
