Excerpt from Spray on the Windows

Ann Middleton sat in a hammock-chair before one of the little, bow-windowed houses in Sea-view Terrace. There was already, it being September, a bite in the salt air which filled her with life and energy, so it soon became annoying to sit quite still behind a large sunshade: particularly as there chanced to be no sun.

The sound of a band drifted across the wind-bitten space which called itself a public garden. Ann tapped her foot impatiently to the time of the Wedding March which was being played over and over again in the distance with such mohotonous persistence.

Tum-tum-te-tum-tum-tum-tum!

It was most irritating to sit on this little square of grass, a virtual prisoner, while all Wodenscar was at the wedding; but Ann had not been invited and she wished to avoid encountering the guests.

What made the whole thing doubly annoying was the fact that she had hoped and intended to marry the bridegroom herself. But he had declined the honour. Not in so many words, but with phlegmatic plainness.
