six o'clock
The little girls strewed their flowers and then stood in a circle , and the bride swept gracefully to the open space and turned to face the guests . The maid was a little excited when she pulled off the bride 's glove , but all went well , and Isabel Royall was at her very best . While the kissing and congratulations were going on , four violins struck up melodious strains . It was just six o'clock then . The bride and groom stood for a while in the center of the room , then marched around and smiled and talked , and finally went out to the dining room , where the feast was spread , and where the bride had to cut the cake . Cary Adams was among the young people . He was a great favorite with Alice , and a welcome guest , if he did not come quite as often as his father .
