Excerpt
Mrs. Guthrie was paying a stiff price for a month’s sea air on the east coast, and she was not getting her money’s worth; lamentable scats of rain had for twenty-four hours beaten against the lodging-house. The lady in question was an invalid; she had not gone to Felixstowe for enjoyment—she had never at the best of times a faculty for enjoyment— she had gone because her doctor had ordered her to do so. Now she lay like a martyr on her couch, listening to angry bursts of wind and rain that shook at the French window of her sitting-room.
