So saying, the old gentleman took Harry's arm, and, accompanied by Grinder and Captain Boyns senior, hurried to the train; was whirled in due course to Covelly, and shortly after found himself seated at a wedding-breakfast, along with our hero Harry Boyns, and our heroine Annie Webster, who was costumed as a bride, and looked inexpressibly bewitching.
Her ladyship here read aloud: "Immediately after the wedding-breakfast, the happy pair left town, by the London and South Coast Railway, en route for Dover, Paris and the Continent." "There! what do you think of that?" inquired Lady Belgrade, looking up.
Marry them before Lent; I may catch pneumonia any winter now, and I want to give the wedding-breakfast."
The wedding-breakfast was hurried; the wedding-speeches were curtailed: there was no time to be wasted, if the young couple were to catch the tidal train. In an hour more the carriage had whirled them away to the station, and the guests had given them the farewell cheer from the steps of the house.
"A single cross means an invitation to the church, a double cross an invitation to the marriage and the wedding-breakfast, and the triple cross means an invitation to the marriage, the breakfast, and the signing of the marriage-contract. What do you think the Duchess of Veauleglise ought to have?" "Don't ask me. I haven't the honour of knowing that great lady," cried Jeanne. "Nor I," said Marie.
The ceremony was to be solemnized at seven, for the mail-steamer from Jersey to England was due in Guernsey at nine, and there were no other means of quitting the island later in the day. Under these circumstances there could be no formal wedding-breakfast, a matter not much to be regretted.

"Yes, Georges." "Of our wedding-breakfast here at this same table?" "Yes, Georges." The vicomte set his cup back in the saucer and, trembling, poured a pale, golden liquid from a decanter into two tiny glasses.
Well, I have ordered the wedding-breakfast, carriages, everything. Never had such fun in my life. It was quite an excitement. You don't know half my talents yet. 'Suppose brother Rowland were to hear of it? says Netta, frightened at the idea. Howel laughs aloud, and awakes his mother. 'He is east, we are west, my dear cousin.
Music, however, adds very much to this ceremony. In a marriage at home, the bridesmaids and best man are usually dispensed with. The clergyman enters and faces the company, the bridal pair follow and face him. After the ceremony the clergyman retires, and the wedded pair receive congratulations. An attempt has been made in America to introduce the English fashion of a wedding-breakfast.
Young Blanchard appeared, however. He looked weary and hungry, for he had been on his legs during the greater part of the day and had forgotten to eat since his pretence of wedding-breakfast ten hours earlier. Now, newly returned from Exeter, he came straight to Monks Barton before going to his home. Billy Blee was the first to find his voice before this sudden apparition.
