seven in the morning
I have thought more of your children and of your old Breton house than of you in offering you the profits which time has brought to my property in Paris . `` Let us now sign the contract , '' said the young baron , returning to the assembled company . The Abbe Grimont , to whom the honor of the conversion of this celebrated woman was attributed , became , soon after , vicar-general of the diocese . The following week , after the marriage ceremony , which , according to the custom of many families of the faubourg Saint-Germain , was celebrated at seven in the morning at the church of Saint Thomas d'Aquin , Calyste and Sabine got into their pretty travelling-carriage , amid the tears , embraces , and congratulations of a score of friends , collected under the awning of the hotel de Grandlieu . The congratulations came from the four witnesses , and the men present ; the tears were in the eyes of the Duchesse de Grandlieu and her daughter Clotilde , who both trembled under the weight of the same thought , -- `` She is launched upon the sea of life ! Poor Sabine ! at the mercy of a man who does not marry entirely of his own free will . ''
