Adeline's Journey

 
Picture
After the conclusion of the Marquis' trial in Paris, Adeline ensures that her father's remains are "removed from the Abbey of St. Clair" (354).  M. V-- (Verneuil?) made the journey to the Abbey to fetch the remains, and "attended the ashes of the Marquis to St. Maur, though it is unclear whether Adeline was with him on that first part of the journey.  She was present in St. Maur (which apparently houses the "vault of [her father's] ancestors"), since she "attended [the service] as chief mourner" (355).  From here, she returns to Paris. 

The second time Adeline travels to St. Maur, she is married there.  The text never actually mentions the trip, presumably because the 50 mile distance was considerably shorter than most others.  It would have taken somewhere around one whole day.

Following the wedding ceremony, Adeline and Theodore decide that "since La Luc would not reside in France, Theodore and Adeline, to whom the splendid gaieties that courted them at Paris were very inferior temptations to the sweet domesticpleasures and refined society which Leloncourt would afford, decided to accompany La Luc and Mon. and Madame Verneuil abroad" (358).  After a "long and pleasant journey," they arrive once again in Savoy (359).
