Trif and Trixy: A story of a dreadfully delightful little girl and her adoring and tormented parents, relations, and friends
Habberton, John
Girls -- Fiction
There was a double wedding in June, and the Admiral, by permission of
both families, gave away both brides. Trixy strewed flowers in front of
each couple as they walked up the aisle of the church, and she looked
and felt as important as if she were both brides. Neither couple asked
her to be their guest on their wedding journey, which she thought
rather strange, in view of their extreme affection for her, and her
mother had much difficulty in explaining. Both brides, however, had her
visit them soon afterward, and for so long a time that Trif began to
complain that she had no daughter.
