A young man, mourning the loss of his wife, is lent a cottage in Devon. When there, fate takes a surprising turn.

One had to say "Thank you." One had to go somewhere. But Devon? Naturally, he checked the rainfall figures, a reflex act for a man of his trade. Average December rainfall in Wisbech: 80 mm. Average December rainfall in South Molton: 132 mm. A five-hour drive, started in sunshine, clouds holding off until the Cotswolds, filling every inch of sky by Bristol, the rain starting when he crossed the county line. Still, it was very kind of Lady Molton to lend him the cottage. Perhaps it was more enticing in summer. If Devon did summer.
