It was Pap Briggs who urged an early date, after that, and who was most joyous at the wedding.
"Pap," asked Sally one morning soon after she and Eliph' were married, while the three were sitting at breakfast, "what ever made you swing round so sudden and want me to marry Eliph', after objectin' so long?"
Her father looked at Eliph' slyly and chuckled.
"Eggs," he said. "I fooled you that time, Sally. I knowed when I said to go ahead that Eliph' has to have eggs for breakfast. Doc Weaver told me so."
