I would not have you do without a single thing you want or think would be suitable and becoming.

You shall have abundance of money to make such purchases without applying to your husband for any one of them.

You have some money of your own, you know, and it will be a great pleasure to your brothers and sisters to give to the dear girl who was such a help and comfort to our loved father and mother, anything and everything she wants, and will accept at our hands." "Yes, I know I have the best and kindest of brothers and sisters, and oh, I can hardly keep the tears back when I think of the separation that awaits us," said Annis with a sob, putting her arms round Mildred's neck and clinging to her.
"Yes, dear, I know.

I feel just the same, though I believe you will be very happy with the kind, genial old gentleman who is stealing you away from us; but I can see that he is in great haste to get full possession of his dear little lady-love--at which I do not wonder at all--and I really think it would be better to take the plunge into matrimony suddenly and have it over," she added, with a smile.
"Have what over ?" asked Annis, smiling faintly.
"Not the matrimony," laughed her sister, "but the plunge into it." "Oh, Milly dear, you wouldn't have liked to be hurried so!" "Ah, but wasn't I ?" laughed Mildred; "and that by this very brother of ours who expects to perform the ceremony for you." "Ah, I don't remember about that," returned Annis, in a tone of enquiry.
"No, you were such a little girl then that I don't wonder it has slipped your memory.

But Cyril was about starting for college and so determined to see me married, so fearful that he would miss the sight if he went off before-hand, that he coaxed, planned, and insisted till he actually gained his point--hurrying me into wedlock before I had even one wedding dress made up." "Oh, yes! and you were married in mother's wedding dress, I remember now.
But, Milly, I haven't a single handsome dress with me! I did not think they would be at all suitable to wear in tramping about the White City and its buildings, or needed in the hotel, where I spent but little time except at night.
