INTRODUCTORY CHAPTERS 



XV 



Miss Lydia Burt, all in white with fringe trimming; Miss 

 Jessie Benedict, in magnificent silk of wonderful breadth; Miss 

 Florence Ketchum, in a light costume of quaint design, with a 

 fetching bonnet that was one of the day's sensations, representing 

 her grandmother, Sally Conkling Wilson; and a hundred others 

 were noticeable, but space forbids the inclusion of their names. 



The procession through the town from Square to bridge and 

 back to the church was one long to be remembered. The 

 handsome, high-bred horsemen and horses, some riding pillion 

 with little maid or young miss; the equipages, elegant and 

 nondescript; and marchers, each one more fine, quaint or cute 

 than the last, made a picture unequalled and unforgetable. 

 Unhappy those who could not or would not be present! 



Dear, dear Warwick, do it again, with some other good excuse !
