One of the musicians, Teddy Lawrence, is also the organist at St. Mark's Church, and he invites Mirandy to hear him play one Sunday.

Rose promises to send the minister a written reply to his marriage proposal, but the note that she pins to the newly washed surplice is lost. Eventually the note is found and the two become engaged, just as Mrs. Judkins discovers that she has inherited a large sum of money.
