hope will be granted to us"
In another statement, to the press,
the duke thanked newspaper men for
their treatment of him and the
duchess. He appealed for the pri-
Vacy they feel now is their due" and
promised that he would not withdraw
into secrecy.
He said:
The Duke and Duchess of Windsor
wish to take this opportunity of ex-
pressing to journalists their apprecia-
ton of the courtesy which has, for the
most part, been shown to them under
unprecedented circumstances.
They would like it to be on the rec
ord that, although inaccurate state
ments and reports seem to have been
unavoidable during these months
which have been trying for all con-
cerned, there has been an evident
willingness to contradict them.
In regards the future, the duke
realizes that any atmosphere Of Sc
crecy would be unsatisfactory and will
always be prepared to supply any news
Of importance concerning the duchess
and himself
AT the same time, the duke and
duchess, while fully understanding the
difficulties, want this day to ap-
peal to the press of the world to give
them that measure of consideration
and privacy which they feel now is
their due"

hundreds Of them from far and near,
moving at will along the winding
country road that passes the iron
gates of this court of content.
Then, at the waning of a pale half
moon and the first break of morning
light, the truckload of grimly deter
mined gendarmes descended on the
castle area. They swiftly set about
keeping all but newsmen and wedding
guests a half mile away-despite
the French law that makes a civil
marriage public event.
Suddenly, post card hawkers added
dowdy and carnival touch to the
crowd outside. They marketed stacks
OF glossy prints that pictured Edward,
his bride, and the castle.
There were sightseers on the road
from Germany, Italy, Switzerland and
the Netherlands, even an old couple,
recapturing forgotten thrills. from
Switzerland. There were English folk
and Frenchment from Paris and the
rolling farms nearby.
