She was lovely, but she didn't "outdress or outshine" Sally one bit, and she never even glanced at the mirror to see how she looked; she began helping with Sally's hair, and to dress her.

When Bess Kuntz prinked so long she made every one disgusted, the Princess said: "Oh save your trouble.

No one will look at you when there's a bride in the house." There was a roll almost as thick as your arm of garters that all the other girls wanted Sally to wear for them so they would get a chance to marry that year, and Agnes Kuntz's was so large it went twice around, and they just laughed about it.

They put a blue ribbon on Sally's stays for luck, and she borrowed Peter's sister Mary's comb to hold her back hair.

They had the most fun, and when she was all ready except her dress they went away, and Sally stood in the middle of the room trembling a little.
