Excerpt from Chronicles of Gretna Green, Vol. 2 of 2

Some facts about Geography

Amuse us for awhile;

And chiefly the Topography

'Twixt Gretna and Carlisle.

What a pity it is that the exquisite romance of running away with a lady, and marrying her clandestinely, should ever be tarnished by subsequent matrimonial squabbles. Alack and well-a-day! surely it must be a most humiliating consideration, for people to find themselves launching cutting speeches at each other, when the remembrance of the caresses, the rapture, the triumph, that swelled in their bosoms at the successful moment of escape to Gretna is still fresh in their minds, if they only dare to recall it.
