“‘Aunt Tempe shook out a dress and held it at an authoritative angle with her head tilted to match. ‘I must say I never heard of a red wedding before.’
    ‘American Beauty, Aunt Tempe!’ cried India, teasingly whisking it from her and beginning to dance about after Dabney, holding it high.
    ‘I stand corrected,’ said Aunt Tempe.
    ‘They fade out before they get to Shelley and Dabney,’ Laura told her consolingly.”

—Eudora Welty, Delta Wedding, 1946.
