Aunt Olivia and the Story Girl lived in a whirlwind of dressmaking after that, and enjoyed it hugely. Cecily and Felicity also had to have new dresses for the great event, and they talked of little else for a fortnight. Cecily declared that she hated to go to sleep because she was sure to dream that she was at Aunt Olivia's wedding in her old faded gingham dress and a ragged apron. "And no shoes or stockings," she added, "and I can't move, and everyone walks past and looks at my feet." "That's only in a dream," mourned Sara Ray, "but I may have to wear my last summer's white dress to the wedding. It's too short, but ma says it's plenty good for this summer. I'll be so mortified if I have to wear it." "I'd rather not go at all than wear a dress that wasn't nice," said Felicity pleasantly. "I'd go to the wedding if I had to go in my school dress," cried Sara Ray. "I've never been to anything. I wouldn't miss it for the world." "My Aunt Jane always said that if you were neat and tidy it didn't matter whether you were dressed fine or not," said Peter. "I'm sick and tired of hearing about your Aunt Jane," said Felicity crossly. Peter looked grieved but held his peace. Felicity was very hard on him that spring, but his loyalty never wavered. Everything she said or did was right in Peter's eyes. "It's all very well to be neat and tidy," said Sara Ray, "but I like a little style too." |
