ere never alone. For once in the
hands of our rich relations the quiet wedding we had arranged became a
royal alliance, a Field of the Cloth of Gold, the chief point of attack
for the moving-picture men.

The youths who came from New York to act as my ushers informed me that
the Ushers' Dinner at Harbor Castle-from which, after the fish course,
I had fled--was considered by them the most successful ushers' dinner in
their career of crime. My uncle-in-Law also testifies to this. He ought
to know. At four in the morning he was assisting the ushers in throwing
the best man and the butler into the swimming-pool.

For our honeymoon he loaned us the yacht. "Take her as far as you like,"
he said. "After this she belongs to you and Polly. And find a better
name for her than Harbor Lights. It sounds too much like a stay-at-home.
And I want you two to see the world." I thanked him, and suggested he
might rechristen her the JOLLY POLLY.

"That was the name," I pointed out, "of the famous whaler owned by
Captain Briggs, your wife's father, and it would be a compliment to
Polly, too."

My uncle-in-law-elect agreed heartily; but made one condition:

"I'll christen her that," he said, "if you will promise to write a new
Log of the JOLLY POLLY." I promised. This is it.
