CHAPTER XIII

Ou, aye, I mind it! I am na likely to forget it!" sharply answered Rose Cameron.
"Well, my dear young lady, the marriage is on again." "_Eh!_" exclaimed Rose Cameron, springing up.

And how, after the ceremony, there would be a breakfast at the bride's house, and then how the happy pair would set out for their wedding tower." While the well-meaning housekeeper was speaking, Rose Cameron was staring at her in dumb amazement.
"I brought the paper in my pocket, ma'am, thinking, under all the circumstances, it would interest you and help to make you forget your own troubles.
