So, be Gorra, he got the vow taken off of her by the Bishop; she soon recovered her health, for she was dyin' for love of him, an' you seen their weddin'. It 'ud be worth your while to go a day's journey to get a sight of her she's allowed to be the purtiest girl that ever was in this part o' the counthry." "Well! well! It's a quare world. An' is the family all agreeable to it now?"
"Yeah, I'm gonna wear this hat," said Florette, pulling her blonde earbobs into greater prominence. "An' you put on your best suit an' new necktie. We're goin' to a weddin'." Her tone was gay, arch, her eyes were happy. "Who whose?" Freddy faltered. "Mine!" chirped Florette. "I'm goin' to get you that papa I promised you." Freddy turned away. "Sulkin'!" chided Florette. "Naughty, jealous boy!"
Our noses had regained their natural color, and on the third day Rosy with a last warm kiss and sweet smile on me and visey versey went home, Royal carryin' her in his new covered buggy, drawed by them two handsome gray horses. They wuz engaged, and their plans all made, they wuz to be married in the summer and go to the St. Louis Exposition on their weddin' tower.
"You've been away all summer," she sobbed, returning to her handkerchief. Elizabeth kept her eyes on Aunt Susan's face and did not reply again. There was another silence. Mrs. Farnshaw began to be desperate. "Folks has talked an' talked," she said, "an' I let 'em, because I thought when you come home for th' weddin' it'd put a stop t' their tongues.
I have to trust you, don't I? Course you don't know who I am, an' I haven't told you, but I've got a good p'sition myself, an' I don't go round tellin' privarications! An' there's the weddin' dress, an' veil and fixin's! I got them. You can see 'em if you like, that is pervided I know what you're up to! I ain't taking any chances till I see what you mean to do."
He wondered how much further he dare go. "Guess it'll he some wedding," he ventured. "I'll have to get a brand new suit." "What weddin'?" Eben asked. "Why, don't you know? Miss Randall's, of course. She's going to marry Lord Donaster, that swell dude of a chap." "She's not!"
It was Sol Peterkin who delivered it, hiccoughing in the enveloping smoke from several pipes, as he sat astride an overturned flour barrel in one corner. "I jest passed a wagonload of finery on the way to the Hall," he said, bulging with importance. "It's for the gal's weddin', I reckon; an' they do say she's a regular Jezebel as far as clothes go.
What man you got in that room? I heard a man's voice. Is it because o' him that you bin talkin' about no weddin' to-morrow? Is it one o' the others come back, puttin' you off Jake again?" Her eyes flashed fire at his first words, and her breast heaved with anger, but suddenly she became composed again and motioned him to a chair.
"That was the first place I called, and I said pretty plain what I was gittin' at; but after I knew about the water-set, that settled what kind of weddin' we'd have." But the next morning the world looked different. Her rheumatic foot ached, and that always affected her temper; but when they sat down to sew, the real cause of her irascibleness came out.
"Shay, Rayder, did I tell ye I had a little mix up with a woman, an' I'm scared to death 'fear old woman 'ill find it out. I got 'ter square the deal or I'm a goner and stuff's all off, want yer to let me take ten thousand fer few days, got ter blow a lot o' money on weddin', too, yer see." "All right, Amos, youse's square a man's ever met. I'll let ye hev it."
