When Una was dressed she looked as beautiful as a dream . The boy had finished killing the chickens , and Mrs. Franklin had sent him up with a basket of roses for us , and we had each the loveliest bouquet . Before long Ted came back with the minister , and the next thing we knew we were all standing out on the lawn under the cherry trees and Una and Ted were being married . I was too happy to speak . 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 XXXXX two hours ' notice .
