After the ceremony -- during which Sara Ray cried all the time -- there was a royal wedding supper , and Sara Ray was permitted to eat her share of the feast with us . `` I 'm glad I was stung by the wasps after all , '' she said delightedly . `` If I had n't been ma would never have let me eat with you . She just got tired explaining to people what was the matter with my face , and so she was glad to get rid of me . I know I look awful , but , oh , was n't the bride a dream ?

By the time the last table was cleared away Aunt Olivia and our new uncle were ready to go . There was an orgy of tears and leavetakings , and then they drove away into the odorous moonlight night .

I just believe I 'll cry all night . '' `` You 're tired to death , that 's what 's the matter with you , '' said Dan , returning . `` You girls have worked like slaves today .

'' Peg Bowen paid us a call the next day and was regaled with a feast of fat things left over from the supper . `` Well , I 've had all I can eat , '' she said , when she had finished and brought out her pipe . `` And that does n't happen to me every day .
