Before starting to church that morning his father called him into the library for a private interview , and lectured him as if he had been a lad of twenty-one , who was about to contract marriage -- lectured him on the duties of a husband , of the master of a household and the head of a family . The arrival of Mr. Clarence from North End , and of Mr. Sylvan from West Point by the same train , to be present at the wedding , interrupted the bridegroom 's reflections . `` It is now nine o'clock , boys . You have just time to get your breakfast comfortably and dress yourselves properly before we leave for the church . So look sharp , '' was the greeting of Mr. Fabian , as he shook hands with his brother and his nephew . At ten o'clock the carriage containing Mr. Rockharrt , Mrs. Rothsay and Cadet Haught left the house for the church , which they entered by the central front door , from which they were marshaled up the center aisle to their seats in the right hand front pew .
