She sat very still , eating and drinking , because she must eat and drink to avoid notice , and never thinking how beautiful she looked in her blue silk dress , her neck and arms gleaming like ivory against azure . What would it ever matter again how she looked ? Captain and Mrs. Danton were going on a brief bridal-tour to Toronto -- not to be absent over a fortnight . They were to depart by the two o'clock train ; so , breakfast over , Grace hurried away to change her dress . Dr. Frank was going to drive Eeny to the station , in the cutter , to see them off , but Kate declined to accompany them . She shook hands with them at the door ; and then turned and went back into the empty , silent house . A wedding , when the wedded pair , ashamed of themselves , go scampering over the country in search of distraction and amusement , leaves any household almost as forlorn as a funeral .
