CHAPTER XXII
24/29

I'm obleeged to ye on her 'count.

I'm a goin' to take 'er into the woods, an' take care on 'er.

We are goin' to keep a hotel--me and the little woman--an' if so be as any of ye is took sick by overloadin' with cookies 'arly in the day, or bein' thinned out with lemonade, ye can come into the woods, an' I'll send ye back happy." There was a clapping of hands and a flutter of handkerchiefs, and a merry chorus of laughter, and then two vehicles drove up to the door.
The bride bade a tearful farewell to her multitude of friends, and poured out her thanks to the minister's family, and in twenty minutes thereafter, two happy loads of passengers went pounding over the bridge, and off up the hill on the way to Number Nine.

The horses were strong, the morning was perfect, and Jim was in possession of his bride.

They, with Miss Snow, occupied one carriage, while Mr.Benedict and the Balfours filled the other.
