After a long time Aunt Tommy came up to my room and sat down on my bed in the moonlight . `` You dear blessed Elizabeth ! '' she said . `` It 's all right then , is it ? '' I asked . `` Yes , it is all right , thanks to you , dearie . We are to be married in October and somebody must be my little flower girl . '' `` I think Dick will make a splendid husband , '' I said . `` But Aunt Tommy , you must n't be too hard on Jacky . He only wanted to help things along , and it was I who put him up it in the first place . '' `` You have atoned by going and confessing , '' said Aunt Tommy with a hug , `` Jacky had no business to put that off on you . I 'll forgive him , of course , but I 'll punish him by not letting him know that I will for a little while . Then I 'll ask him to be a page at my wedding . '' Well , the wedding came off last week . It was a perfectly gorgeous affair . Aunt Tommy 's dress was a dream -- and so was mine , all pink silk and chiffon and carnations . Jacky made a magnificent page too , in a suit of white velvet . The wedding cake was four stories high , and Dick looked perfectly handsome . He kissed me too , right after he kissed Aunt Tommy . So everything turned out all right , and I believe Dick would never have dared to speak up if we had n't helped things along .
But Jacky and I have decided that we will never meddle in an affair XXXXX the kind again .
