Thence to other discourse, among others, he mightily commends my Lord Hinchingbroke's match and Lady, though he buys her L10,000 dear, by the jointure and settlement his father makes her; and says that the Duke of York and Duchess of York did come to see them in bed together, on their wedding-night, and how my Lord had fifty pieces of gold taken out of his pocket that night, after he was in bed.
At this late hour, and on his Wedding-Night why, what's the matter, Sir is it Peace or War with you? Sir Feeb. A Mistake, a Mistake, proceed to the business, good Brother, for time you know is precious. Sir Cau. Come, sit, good Brother, and to the business as you say Sir Feeb. As soon as you please, Sir. Lord, how wildly he stares! He's much disturb'd in's mind Well, Sir, let us be brief Sir Cau.
Let. Sir Feeb. Say thy Prayers! What, art thou mad! Prayers upon thy Wedding-night! a short Thanksgiving or so but Prayers quoth a 'Sbobs, you'll have time enough for that, I doubt Le. I am asham'd to undress before you, Sir; go to Bed Sir Feeb.

I must have been taken with Uma from the first, or I should certainly have fled from that house, and got into the clean air, and the clean sea, or some convenient river—though, it’s true, I was committed to Case; and, besides, I could never have held my head up in that island if I had run from a girl upon my wedding-night.
As Carmen said, she liked to talk by moonlight; and now, over in the east, behind magnolia and palm trees, the moon had been born while the sun died in the west. If it had been her wedding-night dinner Carmen could not have been more careful in ordering the different dishes and planning the decorations of the table.
About dusk that night, Owen came to him. "By heavens!" the Ensign began, throwing himself into a chair, "I'm the most unlucky scoundrel! Nothing goes right with me. I promised myself that this should be my wedding-night and here I am, as forlorn a bachelor as ever." "What has gone wrong?" inquired my grandfather, removing his pipe from his mouth.

I answered, 'Thou art a mule which begetteth not'; so he left me in anger, saying, 'When I come back from my journey, I will take another wife, for he hath villages and lands and large allowances, and if he begat children by another, they will possess the money and take the estates from me."
Dorothy had cowered before her father, in utter misery and trepidation, after the company had left that wedding-night, but yielded she had not only fallen ill again of that light fever which so easily beset her under stress of mind.
His excessive anguish drew him from this state of dejection. In the first moment of stupor, amid the strange discouragement of the wedding-night, he had forgotten the reasons that had urged him to marry. But his repeated bad dreams had aroused in him a feeling of sullen irritation, which triumphed over his cowardice, and restored his memory.
