Chapter 40 Man and Wife

• “Do you take Christian Knight as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?” The priest asked Mishka, but she was looking at their adjoined hands and didn’t reply.
• The priest looked at Chris and asked again, but this time Christian squeezed her hand; she came out of her trance and looked up at him gulping a lump formed in her throat.
• “I DO,” She replied with much hesitation and a lone tear escaped her eye, but she did not attempt to remove it.
