midnight
`` It is wonderful that things are just as they are to-night , '' said Brownleigh in his full , joyous tones . `` It certainly seems providential . Bishop Vail , my father 's old college chum , has been travelling through the West on missionary work for his church , and he is now at the stopping place where you spent last night . He leaves on the midnight train to-night , but we can get there long before that time , and he will marry us . There is no one I would rather have had , though the choice should have been yours . Are you going to mind very much being married in this brief and primitive manner ? '' `` If I minded those things I should not be worthy of your love , '' said Hazel softly .
