Delaware tribune. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1867-1877, 1867-10-10

Mr.. Pringlcson's spirits were not raised by
this announcement, and he soon left her
Laura had forgotten that she had been Of
fended and greeted him with an in1uiring
smile.
What lovely lady is that up there z
:. A bride, he answered "a Mrs. Gold
ridge"
"a bride = repeated both lis companions
in a breath and the young lady appeared to
gain great additional interest in their eyes,
until the rising Of the curtain again held
them enchained.
!" By-the-by!" exclaimed Laura, as they
were taking tea on their return, " we never
saw Mr.. Goldridgc. What is he lke?'
NIr.Goldridge is rather short, very fat, has
gray hair and whiskers, wears spectacles,
was widower, and is sixty, responded
Edward.
You are laughing, Bluebeard, said Lau-
ia, addressing him by a name she had be-
slowed on him in her infancy
'sNo, indeed! It's perfectly, true. Why
shouldn't il be!"
"Ayoung girl marry horrible old man =
said Laura,
81 did not say he was horrible, that l re-
member"
"But fat and sixty, said she wi ha shud-
der. ''besides, he must be horrible to have
married her"
!" Perhaps she married him, he suggested.
: Then she is horrible She cannct like
him. And then for him to marry again
81 don't see why people should not mar
ry again if they like, said Edward.
g Bluebeard! how dare you say such
shocking things. Perhaps you will say next
that people need not care for one another
when they marry?"
"No,' said he, mcdtativcly; 81 don't
say that at all
Well, tfen," said she, triumphantly
of course they can't care for more thar
one person, so they ought not to marry
twice.
"You think people can't care for more
than one person? he inquired.
"Of course they can't" she answered
Laura thought a good deal about the ques
ton after she went TO bed that night, ant
became more convinced about il than ever
Edward thought of it, too, and, walking
nm to the lookinp-glass contaminated him
self for some time with very gloomy ex
! preston.
"Forty-two.n he said to himself, an,
shook his head very gloomily indeed.
