There was a threatening sound to the note, and she ended by asking to borrow my blue raincoat. I had to let her have it, but I knew she didn't want it for any good reason and I was more and more miserable. I began to pray that it wouldn't rain. People don't wear raincoats in good weather.
Sick and aching she stood there in the rain, scarcely realizing when the schoolmaster wrapped his raincoat round her; she was wondering whether she would have been happier if she had known he was lying dead in the mortuary, or ill in the hospital instead of sitting, too drunk to move out in the rain on the quay. And suddenly she knew quite well.
After several bobs of his head he ventured, "You're so wet! I'd like for you to take my raincoat." "No! Really! I'm already soaked through. You keep dry." He was unhappy about it. He plucked at a button of the coat. She turned him from the subject. "I hope Lady Vere de Vere is getting warm, too." "Seems to be. She's kind of demanding.
He could see the dark clouds rolling beneath him like volumes of smoke from a factory chimney, and knew the earth was catching a severe shower of rain; yet he congratulated himself on his foresight in not being burdened with umbrella or raincoat, since his elevated position rendered him secure from rain-clouds.
The clouds which had opened for the dying splendor of the day closed and a shower swept over the valley; the conductor came back in his raincoat his party were at dinner. "Are we to be detained much longer?" asked Mrs. Whitney. "For a little while, I'm afraid," replied the trainman diplomatically.
She seemed not to be embarrassed in the slightest degree by the fact that she was guiding a strange man over a lonely road, and gave no outward sign of special interest in him till she suddenly turned to ask: "What kind of a slicker I mean a raincoat did you bring?" He looked blank. "I don't believe I brought any. I've a leather shooting-jacket, however."
And her heart sank steadily all the afternoon for the rain continued to come down. “I don’t suppose I can go, Granny,” she faltered when the clock struck four. “Sure an you can,” Granny responded briskly. But she wrapped Maida up, as Maida herself said: “As if I was one of papa’s carved crystals come all the way from China.” First Granny put on a sweater, then a coat, then over all a raincoat.
I expect he wore a rain coat or something over his costume, and went in a taxi; eh, Nimms?" "Quite so, sir," says Nimms. "A long raincoat, sir." "But," breaks in Mr. Robert, "a man couldn't wander around New York dressed in a fool's costume without being noticed. That is, not for several days." "You bet he couldn't," says I. "So he didn't."
Hang it all, I'm sorry for him. He wasn't to blame. But this letter will cheer him up. It's for the kids if anything happens to him." Apparently changing his mind at Herald Square, he instructed the driver to go down Thirty-fifth Street to Eighth Avenue and drop him at the corner. After leaving the cab he ventured into an all-night shop and bought a cheap raincoat, slouch hat and umbrella.
She crossed to the door and opened it to darkness and rain, and to a man in a raincoat, who whipped off a spattered cap and stood smiling in the light of the lamp she held. Instantly, with a sort of gasp of surprise and pleasure and some deeper emotion, she set down the lamp, and held out her hands gropingly and went into his arms.
