A cabman, who had gone inside the church to see "the wedding,"
exclaimed, as Bijou passed up the aisle:
"Bless my soul! but ain't she a pretty one---the bride?"
Whereupon one of Farmer Lavenue's day-labourers replied:
"I believe you. And I can tell you what--she's as good as she is
pretty--she is! And even better nor that!"
THE END.
