Synopsis
Excerpt from Sunset
The fashionable congregation which filled St George's, Hanover Square, to overflowing, one afternoon in late June, came to its feet with a rustling of silk and a jingling of chains and trinkets, stirring the heavy air with a waft of mingled exotic perfumes as the first crashing chords of that wedding march which speeds so many people forth to sorrow and joy, monotony, peace, or strenuous anxiety, came thundering through the aisles.
It was a very self-possessed and dignified bride whose exit from the vestry, followed by a train of no less than eight bridesmaids, was thus heralded by Mendelssohn's hackneyed strains.
Tall and slim in her clinging white gown, Kathleen Sherbon looked almost regal as she passed the rows of inquisitive faces, her veil thrown back, and the sunlight, softened by its passage through the stained-glass windows, fall ing on her still face, and touching her soft, pale brown hair into gleams of gold.
