I wish you to be married in February. A month after your birthday." Mary looked at him in complete bewilderment. Her very marriage-day fixed, and where was the bridegroom?
But to return to the marriage-day itself. The hour having arrived in which the soul-devoted Mary Beaufort was to resign herself and her earthly happiness into the power of the only man to whom, having once beheld and known him, she could ever have committed them, she pronounced her vows at the sacred altar with unsteadiness of tongue but with a fixed heart.
