That would be too bad , especially when the late apple tree had most obligingly kept its store of blossom until after all the other trees had faded and then burst lavishly into bloom for Aunt Olivia 's wedding . That apple tree was always very late in blooming , and this year it was a week later than usual . It was a sight to see -- a great tree-pyramid with high , far-spreading boughs , over which a wealth of rosy snow seemed to have been flung . Never had bride a more magnificent canopy . To our rapture , however , it cleared up beautifully Tuesday evening , and the sun , before setting in purple pomp , poured a flood of wonderful radiance over the whole great , green , diamond-dripping world , promising a fair morrow . Uncle Alec drove off to the station through it to bring home the bridegroom and his best man . Dan was full of a wild idea that we should all meet them at the gate , armed with cowbells and tin-pans , and `` charivari '' them up the lane . Peter sided with him , but the rest of us voted down the suggestion . `` Do you want Dr. Seton to think we are a pack of wild Indians ? '' asked Felicity severely . `` A nice opinion he 'd have of our manners ! '' `` Well , it 's the only chance we 'll have to chivaree them , '' grumbled Dan . `` Aunt Olivia would n't mind . SHE can take a joke . '' `` Ma would kill you if you did such a thing , '' warned Felicity . `` Dr. Seton lives in Halifax and they NEVER chivaree people there . He would think it very vulgar . '' `` Then he should have stayed in Halifax and got married there , '' retorted Dan , sulkily . We were very curious to see our uncle-elect . When he came and Uncle Alec took him into the parlour , we were all crowded into the dark corner behind the stairs to peep at him .
Then we fled XXXXX the moonlight world outside and discussed him at the dairy .
