Some three weeks later George Coventry proposed to Rafella Forte1, but not among the roses in the sunshine, as he had so often pictured, for rain was coming down with inconsiderate persistence2. The proposal took place in the church porch, where they lingered after choir3 practice, hoping it might clear.
His visits had been frequent since the day of the sale; and once he had persuaded the vicar and his daughter to spend an afternoon at his mother's house, conveying them to and fro at his own expense in the ever-available wagonette supplied by the country town inn.
To-day he had arrived just as Rafella was about to start for the church, enveloped4 in a macintosh, holding a monstrous5 cotton umbrella over her head; and for the last hour he had sat patiently in a pew while school children droned out hymns7 around Rafella and the harmonium, staring at him throughout the performance with unblinking curiosity.
[pg 25]
 Now the children had clattered8 away, Rafella had closed the harmonium and put everything straight, and they were alone in the porch; the church door, covered with notices, was closed behind them, and in front the rain streamed down on the huddled9 graves, the sunken, lichen-stained headstones, and the old-fashioned, coffin-shaped tombs.
The supreme10 moment had come when, in spite of the place and the weather, George Coventry felt he could be silent no longer. There was little doubt in his mind as to Rafella's feelings towards himself, there could be no doubt in hers as to his intentions; he had made them plain enough almost from the first.
It was very soon over. He had spoken, he had kissed her with passion yet
