We finally reached the house and turned in at the open gate of the lawn . I thought everything looked very peaceful and quiet for a wedding to be under way and I had a sickening idea that it was too late and it was all over . `` Nonsense ! '' said Johnny , cross as a bear , because he was really afraid of it too . `` I suppose everybody is inside the house . No , there are two people over there by that bench . Let us go and ask them if this is the right place , because if it is n't we have no time to lose . '' We ran across the lawn to the two people . One of them was a young lady , the very prettiest young lady I had ever seen . She was tall and stately , just like the heroine in a book , and she had lovely curly brown hair and big blue eyes and the most dazzling complexion . But she looked very cross and disdainful and I knew the minute I saw her that she had been quarrelling with the young man . He was standing in front of her and he was as handsome as a prince . But he looked angry too . Altogether , you never saw a crosser-looking couple . Just as we came up we heard the young lady say , `` What you ask is ridiculous and impossible , Ted . I ca n't get married at two days ' notice and I do n't mean to be . '' And he said , `` Very well , Una , I am sorry you think so . You would not think so if you really cared anything for me . It is just as well I have found out you do n't . I am going away in two days ' time and I shall not return in a hurry , Una . ''
`` I do not care XXXXX you never return , '' she said .
