Cousin Feenix does that. He has e from Baden-Baden on purpose. 'Confound it
' Cousin Feenix says - good-natured creature
Cousin Feenix - 'when we do get a rich City fellow into the family
let us show him some attention; let us do something for him.' I give this woman to be married to this man
' saith Cousin Feenix therefore. Cousin Feenix
meaning to go in a straight line
but turning off sideways by reason of his wilful legs
gives the wrong woman to be married to this man
at first - to wit
a brides- maid of some condition
distantly connected with the family
and ten years Mrs Skewton's junior - but Mrs Miff
interposing her mortified bon
dexterously turns him back
and runs him
as on castors
full at the 'good lady:' whom Cousin Feenix giveth to married to this man accordingly. And will they in the sight of heaven - ? Ay
that they will: Mr Dombey says he will. And what says Edith? She will. So
from that day forward
for better for worse
for richer for poorer
in sickness and in health
to love and to cherish
till death do them part
they plight their troth to one another
and are married. In a firm
free hand
the Bride subscribes her name in the register
when they adjourn to the vestry. 'There ain't a many ladies e here
' Mrs Miff says with a curtsey - to look at Mrs Miff
at such a season
is to make her mortified bon go down with a dip - writes their names like this good lady!' Mr Sownds the Beadle thinks it is a truly spanking signature
and worthy of the writer - this
however
beeen himself and conscience.
Florence signs too
but unapplauded
for her hand shakes. All the party sign; Cousin Feenix last; who puts his noble name into a wrong place
and enrols himself as having been born that morning. The Major now salutes the Bride right gallantly
and carries out that branch of military tactics in reference to all the ladies: noithstanding Mrs Skewton's being extremely hard to kiss
and squeaking shrilly in the sacred edIfice. The example is followed by Cousin. Feenix and even by Mr Dombey. Lastly
Mr Carker
with hIs white teeth glistening
approaches Edith
more as if he meant to bite her
than to taste the sweets that linger on her lips.
There is a glow upon her proud cheek
and a flashing in her eyes
that may be meant to stay him; but it does not
for he salutes her as the rest have done
and wishes her all happiness.
'If wishes
' says he in a low voice
'are not superfluous
applied to such a union.'
'I thank you
Sir
' she answers
with a curled lip
and a heaving bosom.
