Bressant's recovery was now very rapid, as he had himself foretold.

The wedding was finally fixed for New-Year's Day at noon.

They were to be married at the Parsonage; afterward they might go South for two or three months, but it was understood that they would return to the village before settling permanently anywhere.
"If there isn't room for us here, we can board at Abbie's; it would be very pleasant, wouldn't it ?" said Sophie; but Bressant made no rejoinder.
Professor Valeyon was getting on well beneath the weight of his prospective loss.

He indulged in as many comforting reflections as he could.

Cornelia would still be with him, and he loved her as much in one way as Sophie in another.
