Elliot Darby, the last surviving member of one of the city's oldest family, was being united with his second cousin, Catherine Peabody. You stand at the altar, Elliot, immaculate in your striped trousers and morning coat, facing the aisle that Catherine will walk to become your bride.

Inside you feel none of the nervousness attributed to bridegroom, Only deep satisfaction with the turns of fortune. You let your eyes roam over your wedding gift, most of them family friends. And suddenly seated only a few feet away from you, you see her.

Her face looking up at you with a mocking smile. No, it can't be. And then you feel your knees buckling. What a good doctor! How could she be there, Elliot? Her eyes mocking you, smiling at your shock, reveling in it.

It takes you back, doesn't it, Elliot? Just a few weeks ago, really. Had a meeting with your lawyer when he gave you the verdict. I have to buy the size of it, Elliot. You broke.
