“I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.”
In all fairness to tradition, Melody opted to kiss Jack before he could reciprocate. The gathered crowd
applauded.
Henry was a little taken aback by the number of people who had come to the ceremony, considering the guests had
only been notified since about 10 o’clock in the morning. Jack’s mother was in the crowd, of course, but many
others Henry hadn’t even expected had shown up. Henry’s parents, still blackened from battle and reeking of
cordite, had cleaned up as best they could, as had Amelie’s parents. Nick had come, fresh from the doctor, still
bandaged but looking as solid as ever. Even Lord Farnsworth had showed up; why, no one could tell, because nobody
remembered inviting him, but when he threatened to let loose the cannons Pete begged for him to be let in.
But out of all of them, the Day Watch had been the strangest. Henry had gone in and informed them Constable Jack
Roberts was getting married and the whole station had stopped what they were doing and attended. Henry couldn’t
help but imagine the numerous criminals getting away scot free, lucky bastards.
