`` Nothing more delightful can happen now ! '' exclaimed the children , as they laid by the precious work and enthroned the travelled dolls in the place of honor on the roof of the baby-house . But something much more delightful did happen ; for at Thanksgiving time there was a wedding at the Plums ' . Not a doll 's wedding , as Flo had planned , but a real one , for the gentleman from Boston actually married Aunt Maria . There were six bridesmaids , all in blue , and Flora and Dora , in the loveliest of new pink gowns , were set aloft among the roses on the wedding-cake , their proper place as everyone said , for there never would have been any marriage at all but for this Doll 's Journey From Minnesota to Maine . VI . MORNING-GLORIES . `` What 's that ? '' -- and Daisy sat up in her little bed to listen ; for she had never heard a sound like it before . It was very early , and the house was still . The sun was just rising , and the morning-glories at the window were turning their blue and purple cups to catch the welcome light . The sky was full of rosy clouds ; dew shone like diamonds on the waving grass , and the birds were singing as they only sing at dawn . But softer , sweeter than any bird-voice was the delicate music which Daisy heard . So airy and gay was the sound , it seemed impossible to lie still with that fairy dancing-tune echoing through the room . Out of bed scrambled Daisy , her sleepy eyes opening wider and wider with surprise and pleasure as she listened and wondered . `` Where is it ? '' she said , popping her head out of the window . The morning-glories only danced lightly on their stems , the robins chirped shrilly in the garden below , and the wind gave Daisy a kiss ; but none of them answered her , and still the lovely music sounded close beside her . `` It 's a new kind of bird , perhaps ; or maybe it 's a fairy hidden somewhere . Oh , if it is how splendid it will be ! ''
cried XXXXX ; and she began to look carefully in all the colored cups , under the leaves of the woodbine , and in the wren 's nest close by .
