To assure their future she begged Grace to marry their dear friend, and Grace, touched by the man’s goodness and her mother’s conditions, consented. Not content with the promise, she asked that the marriage take place at once by her bedside, and the wish was granted.” You have two hours to get married, gestures the doctor to the elderly bridegroom, who instantly mirrors the doctor’s double digits. To ensure we understand how little time is granted to him to become a married man, the bridegroom will raise two fingers aloft once again on his way out to fetch a priest.
