When he vanished round the curve of the drive, Isabella, with a very pale face, turned toward Dido. "Oh, do let's stay till it's all done," she urged, but Bruce and Elinor were adamant. "Am I asked?" demanded Patricia with eager eyes. "Well, Dido can do nothing," said Maurice, in a jesting tone, "unless you want her to forbid the banns.".
