"Everybody is here and waiting for the ceremony to begin.

The appointed hour has come, too, and here is the minister," as the Rev.Mr.
Keith appeared in the doorway.
At that the little procession formed at once and passed down the broad stairway, through the flower-bedecked hall, and into the large parlour where the guests were gathered.
All went well; the ceremony was short but impressive, the congratulations were warm and sincere, and the wedding breakfast that followed a grand affair.

Soon after it was over the bride changed her wedding dress for a neat and pretty travelling one.

Then she and her new-made husband bade good-bye, entered a carriage, and started for a train that was to carry them on their homeward way.
Most of the other relatives from a distance left for their homes during the afternoon or evening.

Captain Keith had announced his intention to leave that night by a later train.
