To get.

(1) I _got up_ at six, and as soon as I _got dressed_, I ordered my servant to _get_ me my horse. When the horse came, I _got on to it_, and rode to my cousin's, who _was getting ready_ for the fox hunt. We _got breakfast_, _got_ the horses _ready_, and rode off. On the way my horse _got_ a stone in its foot, so I _got off_ and _got it out_.

As the lanes were very muddy, the horses _got splashed_ with mud, we also _got very dirty_, but huntsmen _get accustomed_ to that. We soon _got to_ the rendezvous and enjoyed a good run with the hounds. (2) The girl had _got on_ a grey dress, and when I asked her from whom she _got_ it, she told me that she had tried to _get_ it at her dressmaker's, but the dressmaker said she had not _got_ a dress of that colour in stock, but would _get_ such (a dress) _made_ for her.

The girl also said that she did not give an order for the dress, and _got on_ very well without it, till at last she _got_ her mother to _get for_ her the one she had now _got on_. (3) When you have _got over_ the difficulty of _getting_ this lesson by heart, do not try to _get off_ your other lessons, for you cannot _get round_ me by pretending that you _have got through_ all your work.

Matrimony.

George became engaged to a charming girl, and is to be married to her on Thursday, and his sister is to be married on the same day.

George's fiancee spoke about her marriage to the vicar of the parish yesterday, and he said he had married her parents twenty years ago, and that nothing would give him greater pleasure than to marry her.

He proposed that the marriage should take place in the parish church, and she replied that she was certain her fiance would be delighted to be married to her in the same church where her parents had been married, and that George's sister also would consent to be married there.

The wedding day arrived, and the church was filled with all the marriageable persons of the village, maids and bachelors; there was also present the clergyman's wife, who is a strong advocate of matrimony.

When the two brides[40] arrived, the two bridegrooms[40] were awaiting them in the church, and soon the ceremony commenced. The two bridal couples stood side by side in the chancel opposite the altar.
