“But haven't I told you that our marriage comes off to-morrow night?”
“Yes.”
“Well?”
“Well, you have told me so; but you are mistaken.”
“Mistaken! I think you must have gone mad.”
“Not in the least. The marriage won't come off to-morrow night, nor any other night.”
“I should like to know what's to prevent it.”
“It will be prevented.”
“I don't just see how.”
“Wait, and you shall see.”
