24TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, Feast of Saint Matthias, who preached to cannibals

I did not see Madame Joanna again, for I was called home all unwilling to celebrate the marriage of the abominable Robert to the little heiress of Foxbridge. They have been hand-fast for two years and were to have been married in two more when she reached fourteen. Robert promised not to bed with her while she was of such a tender age, but from the looks of her, he paid no more attention to his promise than a cow at Mass. Either the girl has overfed herself on honey cakes or the child is with child.

Her father is too angry with them to risk letting them go to Foxbridge, so we will have the wedding here. My father, Sir Nip-Cheese, objects to the cost, saying it is obvious they are already husband and wife. My mother in her quiet way does as she wishes. Robert and his bride will have a hasty but real wedding and we will get all the meat eaten before Lent begins.
