Still, in case there should be any legal flaw I again demand the solemn promise of you both that on the first opportunity you will cause this marriage to be re-celebrated in some civilized land.

At first my wife signed hers "Stella" only, but her father bade her write it Stella Carson for the first and last time in her life.

Indaba-zimbi drew his mark in the shape of a little star, in humorous allusion to Stella's native name.
