She awoke to the sound of marriage bells through the open windows; for one moment her face was all joy, then suddenly the pain returned. She dressed very quickly in a plain white serge dress, and then ran out to find the motor. Jim was ready with it. He looked beaming.
"I want to see if the church is properly beautiful. When you get married, Jim, I'll do the same for you. When is it to be?"
"We're in no hurry, Miss Tonia, there's time enough."
Toney laughed, Jim did not feel as did Frank Weston evidently.
At the church there were busy helpers, and several men from London. Large hampers of lilies were being unpacked.
Next, Toney motored to Waycott Hall and interviewed Maud, and then went home to early breakfast. Jim and the motor were to be kept busy.
The actual wedding was simple in the extreme. Only the Waycott Hall party, Miss Waycott, Mrs. Hamilton and Maud; and from Aldersfield, Sir Evas, Toney, the bridegroom, and Dr. Mayo. As the party entered he was already playing divine music, but the church was full of poor people and of white lilies. Never had the little old building looked so beautiful; Jeanie paused at the entrance.
"Oh! This is the most beautiful sight I have ever seen!" she whispered to Frank.
Mrs. Hamilton looked at Toney and then at her sister.
"Honoria, what extravagance, but how beautiful!"
