Archer wondered how many flaws Lefferts's keen eyes would discover in the ritual of his divinity; then he suddenly recalled that he too had once thought such questions important. The things that had filled his days seemed now like a nursery parody of life, or like the wrangles of mediƦval schoolmen over metaphysical terms that nobody had ever understood. A stormy discussion as to whether the wedding presents should be ``shown'' had darkened the last hours before the wedding; and it seemed inconceivable to Archer that grown-up people should work themselves into a state of agitation over such trifles, and that the matter should have been decided (in the negative) by Mrs. Welland's saying, with indignant tears: ``I should as soon turn the reporters loose in my house.'' Yet there was a time when Archer had had definite and rather aggressive opinions on all such problems, and when everything concerning the manners and customs of his little tribe had seemed to him fraught with world-wide significance.
``And all the while, I suppose,'' he thought, ``real people were living somewhere, and real things happening to them . . .''
``There they come!'' breathed the best man excitedly; but the bridegroom knew better.
