I am glad I can trust you to be good, well-behaved children." Donald Keith was on the watch for an opportunity to tell to Lucilla the story of his love, but none offered.

They drove to Pinegrove, and afterward to Roselands, in the same carriage, but it had a number of other occupants, and the conversation was general.

But, fortunately for Lucilla, she had no suspicion of his designs upon her, so was entirely at her ease with him.
The Pinegrove party was a success, everybody enjoying it fully; the very young in playing games, the older ones strolling about the grounds, chatting, laughing, singing.
The breakfast, quite a grand affair, was served about noon, and some two hours after it was over they all left the grove for Roselands.
Little had been said at Pinegrove about the approaching marriage, but it came under discussion at Roselands, and to the extreme satisfaction of the two little Elsies it was decided that they should act as flower girls, as they had at Rosie's wedding.

The same bridesmaids and maid of honour were chosen also; with the understanding that they should all wear the same dresses worn as Rosie's attendants.
"And, of course, you will wear yours, Maud," said Laura Howard.

"It is lovely and very becoming, and the shade so delicate that I should think it would do almost, if not quite, as well as if it were white." "It is very pretty, and as becoming as any I own," Maud said with a slight smile.
