er veneration of heaven, gave
the young couple her blessing, but remarked incidentally that her head
seemed turned round.

Mother Manon herself was pleased with her son-in-law when she came to
know the full extent of his property, and especially when she found that
Monsieur Hautmartin and his nose had been arrested.

"But am I then really a wife?" asked Marietta; "and really Colin's
wife?"

Mother Manon nodded her head, and Marietta hung upon Colin's arm. Thus
they went to Colin's farm, to his dwelling-house, through the garden.

"Look at the flowers, Marietta," said Colin; "how carefully I cultivated
them for your cup!"

Colin, who had not expected so pleasant an event, now prepared a wedding
feast on the spur of the occasion. Two days was it continued. All
Napoule was feasted. Who shall describe Colin's extravagance?

The broken cup is preserved in the family to the present day as a
memorial and sacred relic.
