First lines

It is Lauraine Douglas' wedding-day.

A delicious gleam of sunshine streams through the curtained windows -- flickers over the dainty arrangements of the toilet-table, loses itself in the white wonders of lace, linen, and embroidery strewed about in different directions, and finally wanders to a dusky head on the pillows, and plays at hide and seek over the closed eyelids of a very lovely face.
