green swallow-tailed coat and yellow waistcoat,
which was his beau-ideal of wedding garment.
He was determined to do the thing in style so
far as he was concerned, and according to his
own notions Of gentilty, posted himself at the
drawing-room door, to announce the quality"
" I'm getting unasy, where's the bride to
come from? We'il be disgraced entirely =
There's master lookin' in the drawing room,
and nobody coming to marry him Biddy, my
jewel couldn't you dress yourself in wrathe
of orange blossoms to kape up the posterity

not be afther doin' so unlucky thing as to
put on the wrathe before my own time comes;
let the master find wrathe for the bride, and
bride for the wrathe." The guests arriving
quickly, Tim resumed the dignity of Office.

eye on the door, aad the other on Mr.. kllwin-
ing, who seemed more than ever agreeable and
polite 10 all !; yet an accurate observer might
notice slight restlessnees and increasing
anxiety, which, without impairing his extreme
urbanity seemed at variance with his ugual
placid equanimity.
