Half-past ten was the hour at which the service began. Mrs Baxter contrived to meet her before she saw her father, and begged her not to let it be known that any special tidings of Mr Harding's failing strength had been sent from the deanery to Plumstead.

Bold raised her little hand and just dealt him a box on the ear with such good will that it sounded among the trees he had followed her into the garden like a miniature thunderclap.
