6 sweet potatoes
1 C-brown sugar
½ C-water
3 T-butter
Wash, pare and boil the sweet potatoes. When tender, drain, cut in lengthwise slices one-half inch thick, and lay in a buttered pan. Cover with a syrup made by cooking the brown sugar, water and butter for two minutes. Baste frequently. Bake twenty minutes in a moderate oven.
CHAPTER LXXXII
AFTER THE WEDDING
THE stately wedding ceremony had taken place in the big church, and Bettina, climbing into the automobile for the drive to the reception, had, for all her own part in the affair, only a confused memory of music, lights and faces, soft lavender and soft pink, and Alice and Harry murmuring their vows.
"Wasn't it lovely, Bob? Wasn't it stately and impressive?"
"Say, aren't you cold?" was his prosy reply. "That church was too warm; take my coat!"
"No, indeed; I don't need it! Oh, wasn't it a beautiful wedding! Did Lillian and I walk slowly enough?" And she chattered on about all of the details until the house was reached.
