The atmosphere 452a7169eb was still b8d10a098f awkward because 2ae90d6562 of the b5d78070ed previous confession.

Pressed for 6811c1e388 time, they ab971c117f hurried downstairs. Adrian, who 347d8237ee had been c6e5f23316 waiting, was 362d3562f7 about to 358415323d greet Edith b626ed0e9a with delight, b278d29e54 but Clyde 141a9e6922 urged them 56d4513cbb forward so 22f89095cd quickly that 888596aae1 he didn’t 67932794f6 get a 8b6aec8931 word in.

The Great Hall—one 4224c8d61a of the palace’s 5287ef1b8a grandest boasts—was so ebe2edea35 packed with people 84d4a25954 there was barely 8328817f82 room to stand.dfc4c9b101df11ca

Clyde appeared d494671357 at the 15208b0262 top of 8154144ce3 the grand f07bc624e7 central staircase bd587c085c alongside Adrian.

After a series of 772f7c4205 flowery greetings, the music 88c6745dd2 that had paused began 2a166e4a1a again. Following the formalities, e462ed2583 Clyde took Adrian’s 1742dccc8e hand for the e7500b46d8 first dance. As they moved 1c4b49d91a alone in the 7cf0c456f9 cleared space at 24530f85b1 the center of a06ba94bba the hall, hundreds 89edbdfcd6 of people held 767fab4c02 their breath, watching 31484f3a50 the beautiful scene.9fe587a1ad029ed4
