CHAPTER XIV.
Edith was quietly married to Albert at Easter time, in the English
Chapel at Florence. The event was hastened by the sudden appearance of
Mae's parents, who set sail soon after hearing of the Sorrento escapade
and the embryonic engagement, which awaited their sanction before being
announced. Everything was beautifully smooth at last. Edith and Albert
left the day of their marriage for Munich, and later, Mrs. Jerrold was
to settle down with them at Tuebingen. The rest of the party were to
summer in Switzerland; then came fall, and then--what?
Norman thought he knew, and Mae said she thought he didn't, but this
young woman was losing half her character for willfulness, and Norman
was growing into a perfect tyrant, so far as his rights were concerned.
Easter is a season of marriages. Mae read in a Roman paper the betrothal
announcement of the Signor Bero and Signorina Lillia Taria. "I would
like to send them a real beautiful present," said she, and Norman did
not say no.
