"Yet do you not think, Chloris, that in the absence of Jugatinus and in, as I understand it, the unavoidable absence of Jugatinus, somebody else might perform the ceremony?" "Oh, yes, if they wanted to. But it would not count. Nobody but Jugatinus can really marry people. And so of course nobody else does." "What makes you sure of that?"
Jugatinus tied the nuptial knot; Domiducus ushered the bride home; Domitius took care to keep her there, and prevent her gadding abroad; Maturna preserved the conjugal union entire; Virginensis loosed the bridle zone or girdle; Viriplaca was a propitious goddess, ready to reconcile the married couple in case of any accidental difference.
"Now you see for yourself." "Why, yes, to be sure," says Jurgen, "that does put rather a different light upon it, now I think of it." "It makes all the difference in the world." "I would hardly go that far. Still, I perceive it makes a difference." "Why, you talk as if everybody did not know that Jugatinus marries people!" "No, dear, let us be fair! I did not say precisely that."
"Why, because," said Chloris, triumphantly, "nobody ever heard of such a thing." "You have voiced," said Jurgen, "an entire code of philosophy. Let us by all means go to Jugatinus and be married." So they were married by Jugatinus, according to the ceremony with which the People of the Wood were always married by Jugatinus.
" And as if everybody was not always married by Jugatinus!" "Yes, here in Leuke, perhaps. But outside of Leuke, you understand, my darling!" "But nobody goes outside of Leuke. Nobody ever thinks of leaving Leuke. I never heard such nonsense." "You mean, nobody ever leaves this island?" "Nobody that you ever hear of.
"I thought it was only yesterday you arrived in Leuke." "That is true: for I came with the Equinox, over the long sea." "Then Jugatinus has not had time to marry you to anybody, and certainly he would never think of marrying you to two wives. Why do you talk such nonsense?" "No, it is true, I was not married by Jugatinus." "So there!" says Chloris, as if that settled matters.
"No, Jurgen," said Chloris, sadly, "it is a rule with Jugatinus never to leave the island; and indeed I am sure he has never even considered such unheard-of conduct: so, of course, the people of other countries are not able to get married." "Well, but, Chloris, in Eubonia " "Now if you do not mind, dear, I think we had better talk about something more pleasant.
