CHAPTER XXXVIII.
THE DAY AFTER THE WEDDING.
"On the 23d instant, Alfred Dinks, Esq., of Boston, to Fanny, oldest daughter of Boniface Newt, Esq., of this city." Fanny wrote the notice with her own hands, and made Alfred take it to the papers.

In this manner she was before her mother-in-law in spreading the news.

In this manner, also, as Boniface Newt, Esq., sat at breakfast, he learned of his daughter's marriage.

His face grew purple.

He looked apoplectic as he said to his wife, "Nancy, what in God's name does this mean ?" His frightened wife asked what, and he read the announcement aloud.
He rose from table, and walked up and down the room.
"Did you know any thing of this ?" inquired he.
