at home at Monkhams.' After that he took Nora's hand and kissed it, and
at that moment Caroline came back to them.
'Tomorrow, Mr Glascock,' she said, 'you will, I believe, be at liberty
to kiss everybody; but today you should be more discreet.'
It was generally admitted among the various legations in Florence that
there had not been such a wedding in the City of Flowers since it had
become the capital of Italia. Mr Glascock and Miss Spalding were
married in the chapel of the legation, a legation chapel on the ground
floor having been extemporised for the occasion. This greatly enhanced
the pleasantness of the thing, and saved the necessity of matrons and
bridesmaids packing themselves and their finery into close fusty
carriages. A portion of the guests attended in the chapel, and the
remainder, when the ceremony was over, were found strolling about the
shady garden. The whole affair of the breakfast was very splendid and
lasted some hours.
