The Brilliance of Sir Arthur

(Watson to Holmes, over the newspaper)
"Those are all the notices which appeared before the disappearance of the bride."
"Before the what?" asked Holmes, with a start.
"The vanishing of the lady."
"When did she vanish, then?"
"At the wedding breakfast."
"Indeed. This is more interesting than it promised to be; quite dramatic, in fact."
"Yes, it struck me as being a little out of the common."
"They often vanish before the ceremony, and occasionally during the honeymoon; but I cannot call to mind anything quite so prompt as this."
