Mobbed Wedding of an Heiress and Duke

Platoons of police were swept aside by the frantic, well-dressed women who were determined to catch a glimpse, or touch the carriage or clothes, of the couple who were about to be married; and the two poor mortals who were uniting great wealth and an ancient title were practically mobbed in the indecent demonstration.
