Excerpt from The Bridge Across
A dull matins without any choir, for the church is high, and the choristers only sing at the choral Eucharist.
The curate was reading the Psalms in the mono tonous mumble seemingly reserved by the clergy for such religious exercises. The congregation hurried after him, like a stumbling child after a long-legged, striding parent.
There was a sound Of pattering feet in the aisle which stopped at the seat just behind Gran. Then followed a hasty kneeling and uprisal, intermittent whispers, and breathless giggles.
Most disturbing little noises, which cut sharply across the decorous murmur Of the congregation.
The Psalms were long that day, and about three quarters of the way through Gran turned right round to gaze reprovingly at the irreverent ones.
Three girls were in the seat. Two of them, perhaps, nearing twenty. Tall, fair and pretty in a rather rakish, musical-comedy fashion. They had the grace to look confused, and bent their blue eyes Upon their prayer-books.
