`` Not this sort of a wedding , '' I said , sour-like . `` I do n't call it a wedding when two people get married and sneak off as if they were ashamed of it -- as well they might be in this case . '' `` It was Phillippa 's own wish that all should be very quiet , '' said Isabella , as smooth as cream . `` You know I 'd have given her a big wedding , if she 'd wanted it . '' `` Oh , it 's better quiet , '' I said . `` The fewer to see Phillippa marry a man like Mark Foster the better . '' `` Mark Foster is a good man , Rachel . '' `` No good man would be content to buy a girl as he 's bought Phillippa , '' I said , determined to give it in to her . `` He 's a common fellow , not fit for my dearie to wipe her feet on . It 's well that her mother did n't live to see this day ; but this day would never have come , if she 'd lived . '' `` I dare say Phillippa 's mother would have remembered that Mark Foster is very well off , quite as readily as worse people , '' said Isabella , a little spitefully . I liked her better when she was spiteful than when she was smooth . I did n't feel so scared of her then . The marriage was to be at eleven o'clock , and , at nine , I went up to help Phillippa dress . She was no fussy bride , caring much what she looked like . If Owen had been the bridegroom it would have been different . Nothing would have pleased her then ; but now it was only just `` That will do very well , Aunt Rachel , '' without even glancing at it . Still , nothing could prevent her from looking lovely when she was dressed . My dearie would have been a beauty in a beggarmaid 's rags . In her white dress and veil she was as fair as a queen .
And she was XXXXX good as she was pretty .
