" "You know what is happening with Eben, don't you?" "Will he marry Sarah?" Mercy asked excitedly. "We don't know how it worked out. Tell us." "Father Meriel will honor Sarah's decision to accept Eben. I guess it's going to be quite an event. The French family does not accept Sarah's decision, and they're going ahead with their wedding plans. Eben's Indian family are going ahead with wedding plans. There's going to be one bride, two grooms and a lot of armed men." Ebenezer was laughing about it. Mercy certainly hoped it was safe to laugh. "I don't think anybody will actually fight," said Ebenezer. "Father Meriel will straighten it out."
