All three seemed pleased to find Rosie there, greeted her affectionately, and then the captain remarked, glancing from one to another: "It strikes me that you are all looking about as grave as if assembled to discuss the affairs of the nation.

Can I have a voice in the subject, whatever it is ?" "Yes, Brother Levis," replied Rosie, "I am trying to make arrangements for--doing what you have done twice.

And perhaps, since you have had so much practice, you may be more capable than these other friends and relatives of giving me advice." "Something that I have done twice?
What can that be ?" "Will Croly wants to help me," returned Rosie with a laugh and a blush.
"Ah! now I understand.

Is the vexing question as to the colour and material of the wedding gown ?" "Mamma thinks the first thing is to settle when the ceremony is to be performed.

She does not seem to sympathise in Will's haste to have it over." "Which is not at all surprising," returned the captain, glancing at his two older daughters.
