Except her mother, she instinctively distrusted women in such a matter as that of Wilmet Gaunt, feeling they would want to know more than she could tell them, and not be too tolerant of what they heard. Casting about, at a loss, she thought suddenly of Mr. Cuthcott. At dinner that day she fished round carefully. Felix spoke of him almost warmly.
Nedda rose to her feet, having an inclination to seize his hand, or stroke his head, or something. She subsided again with a fervid sigh, and sat exchanging with him a happy smile. At last she said: "Mr. Cuthcott, is there any chance of things like that changing?" "Changing?" He certainly had grown paler, and was again lightly thumping the table. "Changing? By gum! It's got to change!
Her cheeks went hot, she clenched her hands and said resolutely: "Mr. Cuthcott, do you believe in God?" Mr. Cuthcott made a queer, deep little noise; it was not a laugh, however, and it seemed as if he knew she could not bear him to look at her just then. "H'm!" he said. "Every one does that according to their natures. Some call God IT, some HIM, some HER, nowadays that's all.
What Cuthcott could have been doing at Becket, of all places, he could not imagine the last sort of man one expected to see there; a good fellow, rather desperate, perhaps, as men of his age were apt to get if they had too many women, or no woman, about them.

But after debate as to which of the dead still had any influence with the living, it was decided to reduce the title to Cuthcott, Kingson and Forsyte, of whom Kingson would be the active and Soames the sleeping partner. For leaving his name, prestige, and clients behind him, Soames would receive considerable value.
The offices of Cuthcott, Kingson and Forsyte occupied the ground and first floors of a house on the right-hand side; and, ascending to his room, Soames thought: 'Time we had a coat of paint. His old clerk Gradman was seated, where he always was, at a huge bureau with countless pigeonholes.
And clasping her hands she added: "This is a secret, isn't it, Mr. Cuthcott?" "Dead." He laughed and his face melted into a mass of wrinkles. Nedda laughed also and drank up the rest of her wine. She felt blissful. "Yes," said Mr. Cuthcott, "there's nothing like loving. How long have you been at it?" "Only five days, but it's everything." Mr. Cuthcott sighed. "That's right.
