And it was going
to last forever and ever and ever.
So far they were just Everybride and Everygroom. Their hearts sang and
the manse was more gorgeous than any mansion on earth, and all the
world was good and sweet, and they couldn't possibly ever make any kind
of a mistake or blunder, for love was guiding them,--and could pure
love lead astray?
David at last looked at his watch and said, rather hurriedly:
"By the way, I imagine a few of our young people will drop in to-night
for a first smile from the manse lady."
Carol leaped from her chair, jerked off the big kitchen apron, and flew
up the stairs with never a word. When David followed more slowly, he
found her already painstakingly dusting her matchless skin with velvety
powder.
"I got a brand new box of powder, David, the very last thing I did,"
she began, as he entered the room. "When this is gone, I'll resort to
cheaper kinds. You see, father's had such a lot of experience with
girls and complexions that he just naturally expects them to be
expensive--and would very likely be confused and hurt if things were
changed. But I can imagine what a shock it would be to you right at
the start."
David assured her that any powder which added to the wonder of that
most wonderful complexion was well worth any price.
