Madam Stolpe came in and drew Pelle into the bedroom, where Ellen stood like a snow-white revelation, with a long veil and a myrtle-wreath in her hair. "Really you two are supposed not to see one another, but I think that's wrong," she said, and with a loving glance she pushed them into each other's arms.
Upon reaching her boudoir, Marianne doffed her mantilla with an indescribable air of triumphant joy, and laid the coronet and myrtle-wreath on the table. "Well," she asked in her sonorous, impressive voice, "what do you say now, my tender Gentz?" He had taken his hat, and replied with a deep bow: "I have to say that I bow to your sagacity and talents. That was a master-stroke of yours, dearest."
Not in her gilded carriage rode the fair young bride, but cold and lifeless she lay under the black and silver pall on which were placed a myrtle-wreath and a royal crown of gold. Another Spouse had claimed her hand, and the marriage-rites were solemnized in the still vaults of the chapel of the Capuchins.
A number of little girls in white, with myrtle-branches in their hands, met you there; and one of them, bearing a myrtle-wreath on an embroidered cushion, presented it to you and recited a simple and touching poem.
It was here that Fulvia had told him to wait; and though he had lost sight of her when the audience rose, he stood confidently watching for the reappearance of the myrtle-wreath. Presently he saw it close at hand; and just then the line of sisters flowed toward him, driven forward by a group of lively masqueraders, among whom he seemed to recognise Coeur-Volant's voice and figure.
I have no mother. You are both father and mother to me. Will you not crown me with the myrtle-wreath?" "Yes," said he, with a sigh, "I will place the myrtle on your brow, and God grant it may not turn to a crown of thorns! Go now, my child, adorn thyself, and leave me alone to pray for you." He greeted her smilingly, and accompanied her to the door.
Sah-luma, reclining in a quaintly carved ebony chair, was toying with the fruit and wine set out before him on an ivory and gold stand, his dress, simpler than it had been on the previous evening, was of fine white linen gathered loosely about his classic figure, he wore neither myrtle-wreath nor jewels, the expression of his face was serious, even noble, and his attitude was one of languid grace and unstudied ease that became him infinitely well.

They will yet see what they have done. The good angel is extinct within me. Wicked demons will now assume their over me. I will have no pity I will revenge myself; that I swear to Moritz!" Her mother rustled in, clothed in her splendid wedding-garments. "Did you send for me, dear Marie?" she whispered. "Yes, mother I beg you to put on my myrtle-wreath."
Let me go, then, and get a priest; and you, my sweet girl, place a myrtle-wreath on your head, for I shall call for you soon and conduct you triumphantly to the great church of Innspruck; for our marriage shall take place publicly and in the face of the whole population." "No, sir," she said, shaking her head gently.
