CHAPTER XXXII
BETTINA ATTENDS A MORNING WEDDING
"HOW lovely!" Bettina whispered to Bob after the beautiful ceremony had taken place in the rustic grape arbor. "How like Cousin Kate this is! But I had no idea that Frances planned to be married out of doors, had you?"
"She told me that they were hoping for fair weather, but weren't counting on it."
"And this is a regular golden day; isn't it! What a time to remember! Bob, look at Cousin Kate's flowers! A natural altar, without decoration! Poppies, sweet-peas, nasturtiums, cosmos, more kinds than I can count! It's a little earlier than they usually have weddings, too; isn't nine-thirty early?"
"Yes, but Frances thought that this would be the prettiest time for it, and you know they aren't at all conventional."
