Her sight failed her; there was a strange ringing in her ears, a cold sweat started from every pore. This paper was the marriage-certificate of Maurice and Marie-Anne, drawn up by the cure of Vigano, witnessed by the old physician and Bavois, and sealed with the seal of the parish. The proof was indisputable. She had committed a useless crime; she had murdered an innocent woman.
"The Dutch Flat Intelligencer" saw fit, however, to comment upon the fact with that humorous freedom characteristic of an unfettered press. "The new Democratic war-horse from Calaveras has lately advented in the legislature with a little bill to change the name of Tretherick to Starbottle. They call it a marriage-certificate down there. Mr.
Archie Moffam, nee Lucille Brewster, was small and slender. She had a little animated face, set in a cloud of dark hair. She was so altogether perfect that Archie had frequently found himself compelled to take the marriage-certificate out of his inside pocket and study it furtively, to make himself realise that this miracle of good fortune had actually happened to him.
He stretched himself to his full height, easily, broadly, with a touch of defiance, and leaned an arm against the mantel, awaiting Sir William's reply. The old man shrank, then said coldly: "Have you the marriage-certificate?" Gaston drew some papers from his pockets. "Here, sir, with a letter from my father, and one from the Hudson's Bay Company." His grandfather took them.
The young lady was a Catholic, and so the preacher compromised by reading the Episcopal service. The only witnesses were the minister's wife and Henry George's chum, Isaac Trump. "I didn't catch your friend's name," said the minister in filling out the marriage-certificate. "I. Trump," was the reply. "I observe you do," was the answer; "but oblige me with the gentleman's name."
You don't carry your marriage-certificate about with you, I daresay; and in the absence of some kind of documentary evidence, what is to convince me that you are what you pretend to be my daughter's husband?" "The evidence of your daughter's own senses. Place me face to face with her; she will not deny my identity." "But how, if my daughter declines to see you, as she does most positively?
I know it is true I can see it within your guilty eyes." "If you have any doubt," said Lala, "here is a copy of the marriage-certificate." She took it, read it, and put it in her pocket. Then she went out of the room without another word, but with rage and revenge in her eyes. Joseph followed her, saying no more. He had lost more than he thought to lose.
The widow gave him free access to the attic, and it was there, in one of those boxes, that he professed to find the packet of papers which he afterward produced. Undoubtedly the marriage-certificate and the maps were genuine; only the article of adoption had been added. He left soon after, and nothing further was known of him there.
Sometimes dey sticks, sometimes dey don't." The old man shook his white, kinky head. "I'll bust in an' try to hitch up you-all. I I dunno whedder de cer'mony will hol' away up North or not." "It'll be all right anywhere, Parson," said Peter, seriously. "Your name on the marriage-certificate will can you write?" "N-no, suh."
At least the Herr Consul at Sammtstadt informs me of a marriage-certificate issued to one Clinch of Chicago, and Kolnische of Koln; and there is an amusing story extant in the Verein at Sammtstadt, of an American connoisseur of Rhine wines, who mistook a flask of Cognac and rock-candy, used for "craftily qualifying" lower grades of wine to the American standard, for the rarest Rudesheimerberg.
