half past four
`` We must take care not to have them look like those dandelions in the book wedding that began so joyously and ended all in a wizzle , '' she murmured , and she was more than ever glad that they had taken the precaution to pick them the day before and have them in water . By early afternoon all was in readiness and the girls were resting . Miss Gertrude had not been allowed to help but had stayed quietly in her room . The wedding was at half past four , and at that hour the little church , which looked perfectly lovely in the opinion of the decorators , was pleasantly filled with murmuring groups of Rosemont people , who agreed that the feathery decorations proved yet another plume in the caps of the Club members , and of New York people who gazed at the modest country chapel and found it charming . There was a happy _ brrrr _ of pleasant comment while the organ played softly . Roger and James were two of the ushers . Friends of Edward 's , young doctors , were the other two .
