"I know it by heart," said David Rivers.
"Then you must surely know that it would simply make a farce of it, to read the whole, at such a wedding as ours."
"Nothing can make a farce of a Church service," said David firmly. "We may make a sham of our own part in it; but every word the Church will say to us, will be right and true."
"I must have certain passages omitted," flashed Diana.
"Very well," said David, quietly. "Then there can be no wedding."
"David, you are unreasonable and obstinate!"
David regarded her quietly, and made no answer.
Diana's angry flush was suddenly modified by dimples.
"Is this what people call finding one's master?" she inquired. "It is fortunate for our peace, dear Cousin, that we part on the wedding-day! I am accustomed to having my own way."
