`` Why , Mr. Jordan , that is better than the opera itself , '' said Grace ; and Margaret bent and kissed the brave man 's hand , while he blushed like a girl , and said , `` Sho ' . '' A month more rolled by , and Jordan became himself again . Grace and Rose worked together to make such a wedding for him and Margaret as should be a joy in their memories as long as life should last . The day before the wedding , so soon as breakfast was over , Sedgwick went out , telling Grace to tell Jack that he wanted to meet him and Tom at the `` Wedge of Gold '' office at 1 p.m. Grace went to deliver the message , but learned from Rose that her husband had gone an hour before , leaving word for Sedgwick and Jordan to meet him at the same place at 12:30 p.m. . They all met there at about the appointed time . A meeting of the directors of the `` Wedge of Gold '' Company was called to order , and a motion made and carried that another dividend of two shillings per share should be declared . Then Sedgwick arose and said he had an important matter to lay before the company .
