It was over.

The priest bowed and blessed them.

They signed some papers, there by the light of the altar candles.

Father Henriques filled in certain names and signed them also, then, casting sand upon them, placed them in the outstretched hand of Inez, who, although Morella never seemed to notice, gave one to the bride, and thrust the other two into the bosom of her robe.

Then both she and the priest kissed the hands of the marquis and his wife, and asked his leave to be gone.
