The sight of his broad back in one of the pews in front caused all godly thoughts to fly out of her head. It wouldn't be possible to leave before the service was over; if she did half the village would want to know why when next she saw any of them. Besides, one of the sidesmen had closed the door, and it made a good deal of noise when it was opened.She sang and prayed and sang again, listened with tremendous concentration to the sermon and, the moment the vicar and the choir had gone into the vestry, whipped through the door before anyone else. No one would have noticed.
