The slow hours dragged themselves along, and Bet's wedding-day, the day when parson could make her and Will one when, the license being there, and the necessary formalities gone through, they might really stand up in God's house and have the sacred knot tied between them forever had arrived. It was a dull, foggy morning, with a drizzling mist.
"That feeble little creature might do some serious mischief, between this and the wedding-day," she thought; "and yet and yet " "Well, was there anybody outside?" Jack asked. "Nothing to matter," she said. The answer was spoken mechanically.
To tell this frail and excitable girl, who had more than once fainted at a sudden noise, that this man whom she regarded only as her loving cousin had been her promised husband and that having been within two weeks of her wedding-day, she had now utterly forgotten it, and all connected with it this would be too fearful a risk. It might deprive her forever of her reason.
"You could not do any more than you have done were it your wedding-day, my dear. Is it, then, that you are really to be married now?" "But yes! oh, yes! Why not?" she answered gaily.

Look at my full basket."
It is the voices that are hushed that call most distinctly, the footsteps that stop that are most carefully traced. It is the children who have gone that stand and beckon!

"Geraldine!" said Lady Vanderkist from her sofa, in feeble accents of dismay; but Mrs. William Harewood hardly heard, and did not notice. "It would be the most admirable plan. It would give people something to do, and make a reason for having ever so many more." "Baits cleverly disposed," said William.
