"My aunt, I shall be a viscountess," replied Miss Merlin. And preparations for the great party were immediately commenced. More than two hundred invitations were sent out. And the aid of the three great ministers of fashion Vourienne, Devizac, and Dureezie were called in, and each was furnished with a carte-blanche as to expenses.
As Claudia had determined, Vourienne superintended the decorations of the reception, dancing, and supper rooms; Devizac furnished the refreshment, and Dureezie the music. The élite of the city were present. The guests began to assemble at ten o'clock, and by eleven the rooms were crowded. Among the guests was he for whom all this pageantry had been got up the Viscount Vincent.
As on two former occasions, Miss Merlin called in the aid of her three favorite ministers Vourienne, Devizae, and Dureezie. On the morning of the last day of June Vourienne and his assistants decorated the dining room. On the evening of the same day Devizae and his waiters laid the table for the wedding breakfast. And then the room was closed up until the next day.
A little later in the evening Dureezie and his celebrated troupe arrived, armed with all the celebrated dances waltzes, polkas, etc. then known, and one or two others composed expressly for this occasion. And, when they had taken their places, Claudia and her party came down into the front drawing room to be ready to receive the company.
