The Adventures of Sir Launcelot Greaves

CHAPTER THE LAST
13/20

Mrs.Kawdle conducted the amiable Aurelia, trembling, to the marriage-bed; our hero, glowing with a bridegroom's ardour, claimed the husband's privilege.

Hymen lighted up his brightest torch at Virtue's lamp, and every star shed its happiest influence on their Heaven-directed union.
Instructions had been already despatched to prepare Greavesbury Hall for the reception of its new mistress; and for that place the new-married couple set out next morning, according to the plan which had been previously concerted.

Sir Launcelot and Lady Greaves, accompanied by Mrs.Kawdle and attended by Dolly, travelled in their own coach, drawn by six dappled horses.

Dr.Kawdle, with Captain Crowe, occupied the doctor's post-chariot, provided with four bays.

Mr.Clarke had the honour to bestride the loins of Bronzomarte.
