dc.descriptionOne afternoon while in Vienna received call from Vincent Sheean saying he was at Legation residence and would like to see Messersmith; on reaching residence found him with Mrs. Messersmith and a beautiful girl, Diana Forbes Robertson; he said he and Miss Forbes Robertson were in trouble; they had been together in Salzburg for some weeks hoping to get married, but were having difficulty getting married in a hurry; they received a message the day before that Diana's father, Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson, was due to arrive in Vienna the next day and as he was under the impression they were already married, they wanted to get married without delay; they asked Messersmith's help; explained to them in European countries there were many formalities to be gone through and that a hurried marriage was almost impossible; Mrs. Messersmith joined their supplications; thought of Cardinal Innitzer as only person who might help; called him and was invited to come see him immediately; explained situation to him; he said under certain conditions he could dispense with formalities, and he would arranged to perform the marriage in his chapel early next morning.en_US
