Their second meeting was at a wedding-feast.

Young Gaos had been chosen to offer her his arm.

At first she had been rather vexed, not liking the idea of strolling through the streets with this tall fellow, whom everybody would stare at, on account of his excessive height, and who, most probably, would not know what to speak to her about.

Besides, he really frightened her with his wild, lofty look.
At the appointed hour all were assembled for the wedding procession save Yann, who had not appeared.

Time passed, yet he did not come, and they talked of giving up any further waiting for him.
