"Why, to buy her wedding clothes, dear."
"I thought what her 'I' would come to," said Julia reproachfully.
Edward shook his head, and said, "He who goes a borrowing goes a
sorrowing.'
"But she is not a he," objected Mrs. Dodd with the subtlety of a
schoolman: "and who ever heard of a young lady being married without some
things to be married _in?_"
"Well, I've heard Nudity is not the cheese on public occasions: but why
not go dressed like a lady as she always does, only with white gloves;
and be married without any bother and nonsense."
"You talk like a boy," said Mrs. Dodd. "I could not bear it. My poor
child!" and she cast a look of tenderest pity on the proposed victim.
"Well, suppose we make the poor child the judge," suggested Edward. He
then put it to Julia whether, under the circumstances, she would wish
them to run in debt, buying her finery to wear for a day. "It was not
fair to ask _her,_" said Mrs. Dodd with a sigh.
Julia blushed and hesitated, and said she would be candid; and then
stopped.
