SiG. L. R. Two words will suffice for the simple facts — a few years ago my parents — Mrs. S. I'm sorry, but really you mustn't go on, I can't stop any longer, it's a sort of wedding party — SiG. L. R. [interrupting]. Ah! heavens, it is of a wedding that I am speaking — of my own wedding, which did not take place because the young girl who was — ripening — if one may use the figure — trained, in the parental hothouse — till I could claim her — in fact. Miss Griggs — Mrs. S. [aside], Griggs! [Al...ozid] Did you speak of a Miss Griggs ? SiG. L. R. [sentimentally]. Yes, madam, it was that young lady whom I was to wed — my seconds — our parents I mean, had arranged the affair, but ere I could lay at the feet of my betrothed, who was the ornament of her county — the expression of my devotion, this dear but volatile young person had bestowed her precious hand on another, a man engaged in the mercantile navy, I believe. Mrs. S. [aside]. Mercantile ! Griggs ! an extraordinary coincidence !
