If you marry my Joan now I'll give you not a sheep, not one blind wether! But if you'll stay by me a year for her I'll give you a weddin' at the end of that time they'll put big in the papers at Cheyenne, and I'll hand over to you three thousand sheep, in your own name."
"I say it is high time for her to have some sort of a weddin'. Everybody is a havin' 'em tin, and silver and wooden, and basswood, and glass, and etc. and I thought it wuz a perfect shame that Lodema shouldn't have none of no kind and I thought I'd lay to, and surprise her with one.
'But I was not a private, replied Sir Ferdinand. 'Well, anyhow there's a something about him. Nobody can deny he looks like a gentleman; my word, he'll put some of these Weddin Mountain chaps thro' their facin's, you'll see, says one miner. 'Not he, says another; 'not if he was ten baronites in one; all the same, he's a manly-looking chap and shows blood.
It took the combined efforts of Jamie, Withero, Mary and me to persuade her, but she was finally persuaded, and dressed in a borrowed black knitted cap and her wee Sunday shawl, she set out with us. "This is like a weddin'," Jamie said, as he tied the ribbons under her chin. "Oh, it's worse, dear. It's a circus an' wake in wan, fur I'm about dead an' he's turned clown for a while."
She needs somebody to support her and look out for her. She's got that somebody, we're all thankful to say. She's engaged to Mr. Malcolm here. And, as you're his ma, Mrs. Dunn, and I'm Caroline's guardian, us old folks'll take our affairs in hand; they needn't listen, if they don't want to. I understand from Steve that Malcolm's been mighty anxious to have the weddin' day hurried along.
One day we met a weddin' procession, most a mild long, I should say. The bride wuz ahead in her sedan chair, her dress wuz richly embroidered and spangled, a veil fringed with little pearls hung over her face. Pagodas with tinkling gilt bells, sedan chairs full of silk and cloth and goods of all kinds wuz carried in the procession by coolies.
Peter, wid dat Tump Pack gallivantin' roun' wid a forty-fo'. Hit would keep 'mos' anybody's weddin' ve'y quiet onless he wuz lookin' fuh a short cut to heab'n." As the two negroes passed the Berry cabin, Nan Berry thrust out her spiked head and called to Peter Captain Renfrew wanted to see him.
Mumford always remembered to send home a bunch of roses on their weddin' anniversary. Rather than revisit the scene himself, I suppose.
"Not so, Mrs. Blanchard, I assure 'e! Lookers-on see most of the game. Ban't the mite as lives in a cheese what can tell e' 'bout the flavour of un. Look at a married man at a weddin' all broadcloth an' cheerfulness, like the fox as have lost his tail an' girns to see another chap in the same pickle."
But since I did not realize so much as a weddin' ring, twenty years ought to see me through it now." Twenty years! Why, this man would be over seventy before he regained his liberty! "Great Heaven!" cried Richard, "can you be cheerful with such a future before you! and at the end of it, to be turned old and penniless into the wide world!"
