eleven in the morning
It was quite a new departure in a wedding . Invitations were always sent out by hand , even for small evening parties , and often verbally given . A private marriage would not have suited old Madam Royall . So the house was crowded at eleven in the morning , and the bride came through the wide hall in a mulberry-colored satin gown and pelisse that had been made two weeks before for ordinary autumn wear . But her bonnet was white with long streamers , and her gloves were white , and she made a very attractive bride , while young Sargent was manly and looked proud enough for a king . At twelve they went away with no end of good wishes , and an old slipper was thrown after the carriage . Mrs. Morris Winslow had two babies , and was already growing stout .
