Lapy Brrrna sat before the toilette-
table of her dressing chamber in her grand-
father’s town, dence, for he had come
to London earlier than usual, to celebrate
her wedding. Wow beautiful she looked,
with her bright hair showering in a golden
woof around her, and peach-like bloom of
her check, the dewy richness of her lips,
the lustrous blueof her great, heary-lidded
eyes! Bertha was ambitious, and in this
match her pride as well as her love was
gratified, The snnshine that glinted
across the waves of her hair struck upon
the Belvoir diamonds, and set the corones
of*a marchioness, lying on ‘a velvet
cushion, all ablaze.. A wedding robe, fit
to be worn by.a queen at her bridal, swept
over a large ebony chair near; gloves.
