Euphemia noticed this the moment she came in.
We welcomed her warmly, for we felt a great interest in this girl, who had grown up in our family and under our care. "Have you had your bridal trip ?" asked Euphemia. "Oh yes!" said Pomona.
"It's all over an' done with, an' we're settled in our house." "Well, sit right down here on the steps and tell us all about it," said Euphemia, in a glow of delightful expectancy, and Pomona, nothing loth, sat down and told her tale. "You see," said she, untying her bonnet strings, to give an easier movement to her chin, "we didn't say where we was goin' when we started out, for the truth was we didn't know.
We couldn't afford to take no big trip, and yet we wanted to do the thing up jus' as right as we could, seein' as you had set your heart on it, an' as we had, too, for that matter.
Niagery Fall was what I wanted, but he said that it cost so much to see the sights there that he hadn't money to spare to take us there an' pay for all the sight-seein', too.
