five in the morning
It was of the simplest kind and was witnessed by few . Murray , Misset and his wife , and Maria Vittoria de Caprara made the public part of the company ; Wogan stood for the King ; and the Marquis of Monti Boulorois for James Sobieski , the bride 's father . Bride and bridegroom played their parts bravely and well , one must believe , for the chronicler speaks of their grace and modesty of bearing . Clementina rose at five in the morning , dressed in a robe of white , tied a white ribbon about her hair , and for her only ornament fixed a white collar of pearls about her neck . In this garb she went at once to the church of San Domenico , where she made her confession , and from the church to the Cardinal 's Palace . There the Cardinal , with one Maas , an English priest from Rome , at his elbow , was already waiting for her . Mr. Wogan thereupon read the procuration , for which he had ridden to Rome in haste so many months before , and pronounced the consent of the King his master to its terms .
