Much less abstruse were the thoughts of Eleanor Kent: she of the violet eyes, as she listened to Mary Barrascale's eulogy of Eben Tollman on the day before the wedding. Eleanor could not forget moments which had seemingly escaped Mary's observation: moments when Conscience, believing herself unnoticed, allowed a look of fright to come to her eyes and a line to circle her lips.
Slowly Conscience raised her face and looked miserably from one to the other. Her voice was dead and colorless. "I heard what you said, Eleanor," she declared. "It's all true.... I can't go through with it." "But it's too late now, dear!" began Mary Barrascale's horrified voice which Miss Kent silenced with a glance of contempt. "Thank God, it's not too late yet," she said calmly.
It was the face of Dr. Ebbett.... Then she heard a voice which sounded to her unduly loud saying: "I do," and realized that it was her own. Later she was reliably informed that she had appeared splendidly collected and regally happy. This blurred focus of realization left her only when she found herself in her own room and heard Mary Barrascale's voice speaking.
