Now I know you'll come, won't you ?" "I'll see," was Hugh's answer, as he walked away.
Jenny well knew that "I'll see" meant "yes," and tying on her bonnet, she hastened off to tell Ada that Uncle Hugh would be present, and would act the part of bridegroom in the scene where she was to be bride.
"What! that big man ?" said Ada.

"How funny!" Before seven the next evening Mrs.Durant's parlors were filled, for the guests were not old enough or fashionable enough to delay making their appearance until morning.

Hugh was the last to arrive, for which Jenny scolded him soundly, saying they were all ready for tableaus.
"But come, now," said she, "and let me introduce you to the bride." In ten minutes more the curtain rose, and Hugh St.Leon appeared with Ada on his arm, standing before a gentleman in clerical robes, who seemed performing the marriage ceremony.

Placing a ring on Ada's third finger, St.Leon, when the whole was finished, took advantage of his new relationship, and kissed the lips of the bride.

Amid a storm of applause the curtain dropped, and as he led the blushing Ada away he bent down, and pointing to the ring, whispered, "Wear it until some future day, when, by replacing it, I shall make you really my little wife." The words were few and lightly spoken, but they touched the heart of the young Ada, awakening within her thoughts and feelings of which she never before had dreamed.
