Chapter 35
The wedding of Marcus Harlington, Earl of Southwell to Miss Jemima Carlow took place at eleven o’clock at St George’s church, Mayfair, followed by a sumptuous breakfast at the Earl’s London residence.
Flowers filled the house in Grosvenor Square, and the wedding cake was iced the whitest that Jemima had ever seen. She had no idea how her new husband had contrived to arrange the festivities at such short notice, but she was delighted that he had done so. Even though it were most likely the work of his housekeeper and staff, he had sanctioned it.
Although there had not been time to make a new dress, one of Jemima’s best gowns had been embroidered with pearls and French lace, and the mantilla that Marcus had given her had been arranged to cascade down from a circlet of flowers.
