I had never thought of being a bridesmaid in my wildest dreams and here I was one . How thankful I was that I had put on my blue organdie and my shirred hat ! I was n't a bit nervous and I do n't believe Una was either . Mrs. Franklin stood at one side with a smudge of flour on her nose , and she had forgotten to take off her apron . Bridget and the boy watched us from the kitchen garden . It was all like a beautiful , bewildering dream . But the ceremony was horribly solemn . I am sure I shall never have the courage to go through with anything of the sort , but Johnny says I will change my mind when I grow up . When it was all over I nudged Johnny and said `` Ode '' in a fierce whisper . Johnny immediately stepped out before Una and recited it . Pamelia 's name was mentioned three times and of course he should have put Una in place of it , but he forgot . You ca n't remember everything . `` You dear funny darlings ! '' said Una , kissing us both . Johnny did n't like that , but he said he did n't mind it in a bride . Then we had dinner , and I thought Mrs. Franklin more wonderful than ever . I could n't have believed any woman could have got up such a spread at two hours ' notice . Of course , some credit must be given to Bridget and the boy . Johnny and I were hungry enough by this time and we enjoyed that repast to the full . We went home on the evening train .
Ted and Una came to the station XXXXX us , and Una said she would write me when she got to Japan , and Ted said he would be obliged to us forever and ever .
