[Miss Billy Married by Eleanor H. Porter]@TWC D-Link bookMiss Billy Married CHAPTER XXX 9/18
The move was made a little earlier this year on account of Alice Greggory's wedding. Alice was to be married in the pretty living-room at the Annex, just where Billy herself had been married a few short years before; and Billy had great plans for the wedding--not all of which she was able to carry out, for Alice, like Marie before her, had very strong objections to being placed under too great obligations. "And you see, really, anyway," she told Billy, "I owe the whole thing to you, to begin with--even my husband." "Nonsense! Of course you don't," disputed Billy. "But I do.
If it hadn't been for you I should never have found him again, and of _course_ I shouldn't have had this dear little home to be married in.
And I never could have left mother if she hadn't had Aunt Hannah and the Annex which means you.
And if I hadn't found Mr. Arkwright, I might never have known how--how I could go back to my old home (as I am going on my honeymoon trip), and just know that every one of my old friends who shakes hands with me isn't pitying me now, because I'm my father's daughter.
And that means you; for you see I never would have known that my father's name was cleared if it hadn't been for you. And--" "Oh, Alice, please, please," begged Billy, laughingly raising two protesting hands.
