For one moment only were Maurice and Gaston permitted to greet their brides, and then they were hurried into the carriages which awaited them.

Though no invitations had been given, the church was densely crowded.

When the nuptial procession entered, the suppressed murmur of many voices sounded like the rus.h.i.+ng of distant waves. First came Madame de Gramont, leaning on the arm of Maurice; they were followed by Ronald and Ruth Thornton; Madeleine, led by the Marquis de Fleury, followed. Then came the second party, Gaston with Mrs. Walton on his arm; Lady Augusta and Mr. Rutledge; Bertha, led by Mr. Walton, not the least proud and happy man of that large a.s.sembly.

At times, during the ceremony, low sobs were audible; they came from Madeleine's _employees_, who could not wholly control their grief, as the certainty of losing their gentle mistress forced itself upon them.

The newly made wives pa.s.sed out of the church conducted by their husbands and returned to Madeleine's residence.

 

During the collation the brides stood together at the head of the table.

The French amba.s.sador and Mr. Walton were the life of the festive board, and infused an element of gayety which the small a.s.semblage would have lacked without their aid, for a happy silence had fallen upon the nuptial party. Besides these gentlemen, Mr. Meredith and Mr. Hilson were the only strangers present.

The brides left the company to a.s.sume their travelling attire; but Madeleine, before she made this change, stole to the apartment where her needle-women were at table, with Victorine at the head, and spoke a word of kindly farewell to each, in turn. There were no dry eyes in that room.

Maurice was more than satisfied with Madeleine's approval of the pleasant abode he had chosen. Many and joyous were the years he and his beloved companion pa.s.sed under that roof. One year after their marriage it also sheltered for a time Gaston and Bertha. Madame de Gramont died soon after her return to Brittany.
