"Oh I see" said Gladys.
"What time does the important ceremony take place tomorrow" demanded Helen.
"At 11 o'clock precisely" rejoined Gladys, who possessed the virtue of punctuality, "at St. Pauls."
"I see" said Helen "and when do you start on your honeymoon?"
"We cross the channel tomorrow night" replied Gladys.
"And Lawrence and I are going to Norfolk" replied Helen.
"Are you really?" asked Gladys.
"Yes Lawrence lives there you know" said Helen "so he thought it would be nice for me to go and see his people; why what am I telling you this for when Lawrence is your own brother?"
"I dont know I'm sure" laughed Gladys, "by the by Helen did Lawrence tell you that mother and father have quite softened, and are quite willing I should marry Mulberry, but they cant bring themselves to come up tomorrow to the marriage; Lionel and Minna are coming though, so I expect they will go back to Norfolk with you and Lawrence."
"I knew all that" replied Helen "I am really quite excited about it."
