The marriage was private, though not secret. And you, Sylvan, should have seen that the marriage was inserted in all the daily papers. It was your special duty as groomsman. But you must have forgotten it, and I never remembered to remind you of it," said Cora. "Not I. I never forgot it, because I never once thought of it. Didn't know it was my duty to attend to it. Besides, I had so many duties.
There was no groomsman nor bridesmaid, for Shenac Bhan could hardly stand in her black dress, and Shenac Dhu would have no one else; and there were no guests out of the two families.
The groomsman was a young Englishman, Mr. Cecil Spring-Rice. Years later the groom and his "best man" came together again in Washington, when the American was President Roosevelt, and the Englishman was Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British Ambassador to the United States. To tell the story of Roosevelt's life it is necessary to talk much about politics, and that to some people is a dull subject.
"No," said Elsie, with mock resignation, "Bessie insists upon having him for groomsman, and I shall let him put his foot through my flounces with perfect equanimity, by way of showing my affection for her. Talk of giving your life for your friends, what is that in comparison to seeing your flounces torn!"
She couldn't quite resist her newly returned sister. Besides, a pressing personal invitation had come from Margaret Rushleigh to Faith herself, with a little private announcement at the end, that "Paul was refractory, and utterly refused to act as fourth groomsman, unless Faith Gartney were got to come and stand with him."

Douglass as groomsman, and Mr. Willcoxen as officiating minister. But it is not with these marriage festivities that we have to do, but with the scenes that immediately succeed them. From the time of Mr. Willcoxen's arrival in the city, he had not ceased to exercise his sacred calling.
"This arrangement is all very well; but what about the lady? Will she consent?" "Consent? Why, she'll jump at the chance," said Ashby, confidently. "She must be very fond of you." "Fond of me? Why, she's perfectly infatuated about me." "Good!" said Harry. "Well, my boy, I'm your man. You want me for war and for peace, so here am I your second at the duel and your groomsman at the wedding."
Come, bride Greta, take my arm; I will be your groomsman to-day. Bertram, you and Elise follow us. Now, music, strike up a song for the bride." Gotzkowsky offered his arm to the bride and led her out. Cheerfully the motley crowd followed him, and soon there was heard in the distance their happy laughter and the merry sound of the music. Elise did not follow the joyous multitude.
Rogers's attention during the ceremony that you might almost say I acted as groomsman. When all was over, and the book signed, Isabel walked across to Mr. Rogers and held out her hand. "You have been a good friend to me to-night. God will surely bless you for what you have done." She paused, with heightened colour. Mr. Rogers awkwardly stammered that he hoped she wouldn't mention it.
