“Indeed.
This
is
more
interesting
than
it
promised
to
be;
quite
dramatic,
in
fact.”
“Yes;
it
struck
me
as
being
a
little
out
of
the
common.”
“They
often
vanish
before
the
ceremony,
and
occasionally
during
the
honeymoon;
but
I
cannot
call
to
mind
anything
quite
so
prompt
as
this.
Pray
let
me
have
the
details.”
“I
warn
you
that
they
are
very
incomplete.”
“Perhaps
we
may
make
them
less
so.”
“Such
as
they
are,
they
are
set
forth
in
a
single
article
of
a
morning
paper
of
yesterday,
which
I
will
read
to
you.
It
is
headed,
‘Singular
Occurrence
at
a
Fashionable
Wedding’:”
“‘The
family
of
Lord
Robert
St.
Simon
has
been
thrown
into
the
greatest
consternation
by
the
strange
and
painful
episodes
which
have
taken
place
in
connection
with
his
wedding.
The
ceremony,
as
shortly
announced
in
the
papers
of
yesterday,
occurred
on
the
previous
morning;
but
it
is
only
now
that
it
has
been
possible
to
confirm
the
strange
rumours
which
have
been
so
persistently
floating
about.
In
spite
of
the
attempts
of
the
friends
to
hush
the
matter
up,
so
much
public
attention
has
now
been
drawn
to
it
that
no
good
purpose
can
be
served
by
affecting
to
disregard
what
is
a
common
subject
for
conversation.”
“‘The
ceremony,
which
was
performed
at
St.
George’s,
Hanover
Square,
was
a
very
quiet
one,
no
one
being
present
save
the
father
of
the
bride,
Mr.
Aloysius
Doran,
the
Duchess
of
Balmoral,
Lord
Backwater,
Lord
Eustace
and
Lady
Clara
St.
Simon
(the
younger
brother
and
sister
of
the
bridegroom),
and
Lady
Alicia
Whittington.
The
whole
party
proceeded
afterwards
to
the
house
of
Mr.
Aloysius
Doran,
at
Lancaster
Gate,
where
breakfast
had
been
prepared.
It
appears
that
some
little
trouble
was
caused
by
a
woman,
whose
name
has
not
been
ascertained,
who
endeavoured
to
force
her
way
into
the
house
after
the
bridal
party,
alleging
that
she
had
some
claim
upon
Lord
St.
Simon.
It
was
only
after
a
painful
and
prolonged
scene
that
she
was
ejected
by
the
butler
and
the
footman.
The
bride,
who
had
fortunately
entered
the
house
before
this
unpleasant
interruption,
had
sat
down
to
breakfast
with
the
rest,
when
she
complained
of
a
sudden
indisposition
and
retired
to
her
room.
Her
prolonged
absence
having
caused
some
comment,
her
father
followed
her,
but
learned
from
her
maid
that
she
had
only
come
up
to
her
chamber
for
an
instant,
caught
up
an
ulster
and
bonnet,
and
hurried
down
to
the
passage.
One
of
the
footmen
declared
that
he
had
seen
a
lady
leave
the
house
thus
apparelled,
but
had
refused
to
credit
that
it
was
his
mistress,
believing
her
to
be
with
the
company.
On
ascertaining
that
his
daughter
had
disappeared,
Mr.
Aloysius
Doran,
in
conjunction
with
the
bridegroom,
instantly
put
themselves
in
communication
with
the
police,
and
very
energetic
inquiries
are
being
made,
which
will
probably
result
in
a
speedy
clearing
up
of
this
very
singular
business.
Up
to
a
late
hour
last
night,
however,
nothing
had
transpired
as
to
the
whereabouts
of
the
missing
lady.
There
are
rumours
of
foul
play
in
the
matter,
and
it
is
said
that
the
police
have
caused
the
arrest
of
the
woman
who
had
caused
the
original
disturbance,
in
the
belief
that,
from
jealousy
or
some
other
motive,
she
may
have
been
concerned
in
the
strange
disappearance
of
the
bride.’”
