Yet ´tain´t over-natural for a father to feel kinder sad on bis daughter´s wedding day, though she be goin´ to many the smartest lad that ever trod a ship´s deck. Ever since my little wife died, fifteen long years ago, Annie has been the sole comforter to lighten my sorrow. God bless her gentle heart! And now, just as old age begins to creep upon me, I must lose her. She says she will be the same kind daughter, but in her love for that young sailor, Howard Lee, I am afraid she´ll lose some of the old affection for her father. But I mustn´t let my sorrowing stand in the way of their happiness. To-day she leaves the shelter of this roof, and I must be as gay and happy as the rest. Well, they shall have the handsomest dinner that the larder of my inn can furnish. [Enter Tilly, l. 2 e.] Hello, Tilly, how fine ye look to-day. Where´d ye get all them fine fixings? Tilly. Yes, massa, I is kinder fixed up fer de missus´ wedding. Where´d I git um? De missns gib em ter me ter fix up ter wait on de folks at de dinner. Ain´t da gay? Capt. Yes, they be. An´ I shall be proud to have you at my table. How are ye getting along ? Did ye fix things as I said ? Tilly. Yes, massa. I´se put on de old china, wid de paintin´ on em, an´ de big soup-bowl, wid de silver ladle, an´ missus is a putting some flowers on from de garden. Capt. That´s right. Has the parson come yet? Tilly. No, sail, Massa Lee hab gone down fer him. Capt. Well, I guess I´ll go an´ draw the ale, an´ fix up for the ceremony.
