`` And will we have to call him Uncle Robert ? '' `` Not until he 's married to her . Then we will , of course . '' `` I hope your Aunt Olivia wo n't disappear before the ceremony , '' remarked Sara Ray , who was surreptitiously reading `` The Vanquished Bride , '' by Valeria H. Montague in the Family Guide . `` I hope Dr. Seton wo n't fail to show up , like your cousin Rachel Ward 's beau , '' said Peter . `` That makes me think of another story I read the other day about Great-uncle Andrew King and Aunt Georgina , '' laughed the Story Girl . `` It happened eighty years ago . It was a very stormy winter and the roads were bad . Uncle Andrew lived in Carlisle , and Aunt Georgina -- she was Miss Georgina Matheson then -- lived away up west , so he could n't get to see her very often . They agreed to be married that winter , but Georgina could n't set the day exactly because her brother , who lived in Ontario , was coming home for a visit , and she wanted to be married while he was home . So it was arranged that she was to write Uncle Andrew and tell him what day to come . She did , and she told him to come on a Tuesday . But her writing was n't very good and poor Uncle Andrew thought she wrote Thursday . So on Thursday he drove all the way to Georgina 's home to be married . It was forty miles and a bitter cold day . But it was n't any colder than the reception he got from Georgina . She was out in the porch , with her head tied up in a towel , picking geese . She had been all ready Tuesday , and her friends and the minister were there , and the wedding supper prepared . But there was no bridegroom and Georgina was furious . Nothing Uncle Andrew could say would appease her .
She would n't listen to a word of explanation , but XXXXX him to go , and never show his nose there again .
