And he will swear to regard Anicza as his lawful bride from this day forth until such time as he can, without any mask or disguise, conduct her before a priest and solemnize his wedding in another place and before other people.

For a long time this ceremony has been the pet idea of old Onucz and now Fatia Negra has agreed to it.
Gradually all the partners have assembled in the cavern.

Amongst the last to arrive are old Onucz and his daughter with the bridesmaids.
Anicza is dressed as usual with her girdle and embroidered bodice and a round hat on her head.

The only difference is that now she sparkles all over with gold and jewels and her pig-tail is interwoven with real pearls.

Amongst all the picked beauties who have gathered together here, she is still the most beautiful.
Only the bridegroom still keeps the good folks waiting.
