We were joined by two young ladies, cousins of the bride and very agreeable girls.

Our dresses were white, trimmed with green in honour of Ireland; and we each had a handsome gold bracelet given to us as a present from the bridegroom.
If you add to the persons whom I have already mentioned, the elder members of Mrs.Carbury's family, and the old servants in both houses--privileged to drink the healths of the married pair at the lower end of the room--you will have the list of the company at the wedding-breakfast complete.
'The weather was perfect, and the ceremony (with music) was beautifully performed.

As for the bride, no words can describe how lovely she looked, or how well she went through it all.

We were very merry at the breakfast, and the speeches went off on the whole quite well enough.
The last speech, before the party broke up, was made by Mr.Henry Westwick, and was the best of all.

He offered a happy suggestion, at the end, which has produced a very unexpected change in my life here.
'As well as I remember, he concluded in these words:--"On one point, we are all agreed--we are sorry that the parting hour is near, and we should be glad to meet again.
