HOUSEMAID. [_Gasping._] Oh, ain't it a beautiful sight!
BUTLER. [_Pompously._] Not to me who 'ave seen a Lord married in
Hengland.
MAGGIE. Oh, you make me sick, Mr. Potts, always talking of your English
Aristocracy! I'm sure there never was no prettier wedding than this. Nor
as pretty a bride as Miss Jinny.
BUTLER. [_Correcting her._] Mrs. Haustin!
HOUSEMAID. She looks for all the world like one of them frosted angels
on a Christmas card. My, I wish I could 'a' seen her go up the aisle
with the organ going for all it was worth!
MAGGIE. It was a _beautiful_ sight!
BUTLER. A good many 'appens to be 'aving the sense to be going now.
HOUSEMAID. Could you hear Miss Jinny say "I do," and make them other
remarks?
MAGGIE. Yes, _plain_, though her voice was trembly like. But Mr. Austin
he almost shouted!
[_Laughing nervously in excitement._
BUTLER. 'E's glad to get 'er!
MAGGIE. _And her him!_
HOUSEMAID. Yes, that's what I likes about it. Did any one cry?
MAGGIE. Mrs. Tillman. Lots of people are going now.
HOUSEMAID. What elegant clothes! Oh, gosh!
BUTLER.
