"Certainly; be it as you will," she said.
Mr. Lyle then returned to the foot of the stairs and placed himself beside Laura Lytton, who was acting as first bride-maid.
John Lytton and Dr. Jones remained in the room.
The little bridal procession soon entered and ranged themselves in order before the minister.
Emma, as Electra had said, looked beautiful as a woman and elegant as a bride. Her bride-maids also were very fair to see.
The ceremony was commenced with great impressiveness.
Old Mrs. Cavendish listened with the deepest attention, leaning back in her easy-chair and sniffing at her bottle of ammonia.
John Lytton gave away the bride as if he were making a magnificent present at his own expense.
Emma Cavendish not only wore her mother's bridal veil, but was married with her mother's wedding-ring.
