At about two in the afternoon，Edison suddenly thought out a good way to solve the problem on the automatic（自動(dòng)的）telegraph after the wedding。So he said to the bride（新娘），“I’ll have to go to the factory because I have something important to do. Then I’ll come back to have dinner with you.”The bride had no way but to agree.

On the night of the festival, other families were full of joy while the bride stayed in the house alone,just looking out of the window. How lonely she was!
