If it rained, they stood under a veranda in the conventional attitude--Jonah leaning against the wall, Ada standing in front of him.

The etiquette of Cardigan Street considered any other position scandalous.
On Saturday night they went to Bob Fenner's dance-room, or strolled down to Paddy's Market.

When Jonah was flush, he took her to the "Tiv.", where they sat in the gallery, packed like sardines.

If it were hot, Jonah sat in his shirtsleeves, and went out for a drink at the intermission.

When they reached home, they stood in the lane bordering the cottage where Ada lived, and talked for an hour in the dim light of the lamp opposite, before she went in.
Sometimes, in a gay humour, she knocked off Jonah's hat, and he retaliated with a punch in the ribs.
