I was over at Hannah Crawford's one day, and she says, says she, 'Jane, I've been savin' up my eggs and butter for a month to make Marthy's weddin' cake, and if her and Amos don't come to an understandin' soon, it'll all be a dead loss. And Marthy says, 'Well, mother, I may not have any cake at my weddin', and I may not have any weddin', but one thing is certain: I'm not goin' to give up my principles.
"I 'low I couldn't tell what 'twas all about. But she was like all the women. Lord! 'tis the little things that makes un weep when it comes t' the weddin'. "'Come, Liz, says I, 'what you cryin' about? "'I lithp, says she. "'I knows you does, Liz, says I; 'but it ain't nothin' t' cry about. "'I can't thay Joneth, says she.
It was the first weddin' I had ever seen where the groom hadn't wore a silk handkerchief around his neck. They all met in front o' Friar Tuck, who was standin' under a tissha paper bell with about four miles o' ribbon tied to it.
Peggy, if that's the way wid you, the love's all on my side, I see clearly. Are you willin' to marry me, anyhow?" "I'm willin' to do whatsomever my father an' mother wishes." "I'm for havin' the weddin' off-hand; an' of coorse, if we agree to-night, I think our best plan is to have ourselves called on Sunday.
"Faith, Missy, that's ill luck a wisht thing to do indeed! Put un off, like a gude maid, for theer 's many a wise sayin' 'gainst it." "What's her done?" asked Billy anxiously. "Luke 'pon her weddin' finger. 'Tis poor speed to put un on 'fore her lard an' master do it, at the proper moment ordained by Scripture." "If she hasn't! Take un off, Miss Phoebe, do!" begged Mr.
"I ain't goin' to have any man that's treated one of my folks as mean as he has set foot in my house to a weddin', not if I know it," she told Rose. After the marriage-cake and cider were passed around, the old people sat solemnly around the borders of the rooms, and the young people played games. William and his wife were not there.
We didn't want to rush off at once, for fear the other fellows might say something afterwards if anything happened cross. So we saw them make a fair start for a spot on Weddin Mountain, where they thought they were right. We didn't think we could be caught once we made tracks in earnest. After a couple or three hours' riding we should be pretty safe, and daylight would see us at the Hollow.
I had to take my choice between a divorce an' a new weddin' dress, an' I tell you hit were real solemocholy fer me decidin' between an' betwixt. You know how young gals are, settin' a lot by dresses an' how they look, an' so on. Young gals ain' got much but looks, anyhow. Time a lady gits experience, she don't set so much store by looks, an' she don't have to, nohow.
'May be so; but at all events she was as like as two peas to the girl whose weddin' I was at since I came ashore. "Ma'am," sez I, "I want to larn to be a washerwoman:" and wid that I took off my neckerchief an' rubbed it, to show what I meant, by the rule of thumb. "Ah, to vash," sez she, smilin' like a leathercoat potato.
You know, somehow we didn't seem t' git time t' see much." Henry Smith was equal to the emergency. "We'll say we seen so much we can't remember it," he said, shamelessly. "Don't you worry one bit about that, Maria Smith. I've always heard that weddin' couples don't never really see nothin' on their weddin' towers, anyhow they gad an' gad, an' it don't do no good. We was wiser not to try!"
