CHAPTER VII
56/62

They formed a circle around Sally and Peter and as mushy as ever they could they sang, "As sure as the grass grows around the stump, You are my darling sugar lump," while they danced.

They just smiled all the time no matter what was done to them.

Some of it made me angry, but I suppose to be pleasant was the right way.

Sally was strong on always doing the right thing, so she just laughed, and so did all of us.
Going home it was wilder yet, for all of them raced and showed how they could ride.
At the house people were hungry again, so the table was set and they ate up every scrap in sight, and Leon and I ate with them that time and saved ours.

Then one by one the carriages, spring wagons, and horseback riders went away, all the people saying Sally was the loveliest bride, and hers had been the prettiest wedding they'd ever seen, and the most good things to eat, and Laddie and the Princess went with them.
