`` My Aunt Jane always said that if you were neat and tidy it did n't matter whether you were dressed fine or not , '' said Peter . `` I 'm sick and tired of hearing about your Aunt Jane , '' said Felicity crossly . Peter looked grieved but held his peace . Felicity was very hard on him that spring , but his loyalty never wavered . Everything she said or did was right in Peter 's eyes . `` It 's all very well to be neat and tidy , '' said Sara Ray , `` but I like a little style too . '' `` I think you 'll find your mother will get you a new dress after all , '' comforted Cecily . `` Anyway , nobody will notice you because everyone will be looking at the bride . Aunt Olivia will make a lovely bride . Just think how sweet she 'll look in a white silk dress and a floating veil . '' `` She says she is going to have the ceremony performed out here in the orchard under her own tree , '' said the Story Girl . `` Wo n't that be romantic ? It almost makes me feel like getting married myself . '' `` What a way to talk , '' rebuked Felicity , `` and you only fifteen . '' `` Lots of people have been married at fifteen , '' laughed the Story Girl . `` Lady Jane Gray was . '' `` But you are always saying that Valeria H. Montague 's stories are silly and not true to life , so that is no argument , '' retorted Felicity , who knew more about cooking than about history , and evidently imagined that the Lady Jane Gray was one of Valeria 's titled heroines . The wedding was a perennial source of conversation among us in those days ; but presently its interest palled for a time in the light of another quite tremendous happening . One Saturday night Peter 's mother called to take him home with her for Sunday . She had been working at Mr. James Frewen 's , and Mr. Frewen was driving her home .
We had never seen Peter 's mother before , and we looked at her XXXXX discreet curiosity .
