Yet why should I trouble
myself to write out the remainder of it until I have discovered if the
reading public are interested in Dexie's life so far as it has been already
told? It may be that no one cares to follow her fortunes any further, or
feels the least desire to know what the future has in store for her, to say
nothing of the friends who have been associated with her; and as I have no
wish to bore you, dear reader, gentle or otherwise, it rests with you to
say if their married lives shall be laid bare or not.
I am aware that the marriage of my heroine lacked the _eclat_ which usually
attends events of that kind--in story books--but I fancy the average reader
is well acquainted with all the details of an elaborate wedding, and must
be surfeited with the various accounts of them by this time. However, if
that is the style of wedding you prefer, I can give the names of several
volumes which contain everything you can possibly desire in the way of
description of gorgeous wedding costumes and all the rest of the
paraphernalia that goes along with them, and you can read any account that
suits you better, then take up my story further along.
