ELIZABETH. Crying? She'll have something to cry about if she
doesn't look out, when her father comes in, and hears how she's a-
going on.

MAY. I wonder why Cousin Millie's taking on like this. I shouldn't,
if 'twas me getting married.

ELIZABETH. Look you, May, you get and run up, and knock at the door
and tell her that 'twill soon be time for us to set off to church and
that she have got to make haste in her dressing.

MAY. I'll run, Aunt, only 'tis very likely as she'll not listen to
anything that I say. [MAY goes out.

ELIZABETH. Now Annet, no idling here, if you please. Set the
nosegay in water, and when you've given a look round to see that
everything is in its place, upstairs with you, and on with your
bonnet, do you hear? Uncle won't wish to be kept waiting for you,
remember.

ANNET. I'm all ready dressed, except for my bonnet, Aunt. 'Tis
Millie that's like to keep Uncle waiting this morning. [She goes
out.

[DANIEL comes in.

DANIEL. Well, Mother--well, girls--but, bless my soul, where's
Millie got to?
