happy； I was frightfully distressed。 The next day I was very
ill； and unable to get up； but during the morning I fell asleep
and had another dream； which was intensely realistic and made me
believeyes； convinced methat you were well。 After that dream
I soon recovered； but oh； the anguish of the first！〃
Ayrault did not tell her then that he had been near her； and of
his unspeakable suffering； of which hers had been but the echo。
Three weeks later a clergyman tied the knot that was to unite
them forever。
While Sylvia and Ayrault were standing up to receive the
congratulations of their friends； Bearwarden； in shaking his
hand； said：
〃Remember； we have been to neither Uranus； nor Neptune； nor
Cassandra； which may be as interesting as anything we have seen。
Should you want to take another trip； count me as your humble
servant。〃 And Cortlandt； following behind him； said the same
thing。
Shortly after this； Sylvia went up…stairs to change her dress；
and when she came down she and Ayrault set out on their journey
together through life； amid a chorus of cheers and a shower of
rice。
Cortlandt then returned to his department at Washington； and
Bearwarden resumed his duties with the Terrestrial Axis
Straightening Company； in the presidential chair。
