It is also not impossible that Miss Dymond was entrusted with the £25 for charitable purposes. But to come back to certainties. The prisoner consulted Mr. Constant about the letter. He then ran to Miss Dymond's lodgings in Stepney Green, knowing beforehand his trouble would be futile. The letter bore the postmark of Devonport.
The strange girl was saying something to him, in a voice full and yet low, a voice with a sort of thick throb in it, and in its thickness a sweet and poignant quality. "Please," it was saying, "excuse me, you're Mr. Ransome, aren't you Winny Dymond's friend?" With a "Yes" that strangled itself and became inarticulate, he admitted that he was Mr. Ransome. "I'm Winny's friend, too," she said.
"Not quite; the bolt was old, and the woodwork crumbling; the lock was new and shoddy. But I have always been a strong man." "Very well, Mr. Grodman. I hope you will never appear at the music-halls." Jessie Dymond's landlady was the next witness for the prosecution.
But it is still more astonishing that two other books, of which I heard on the appearance of my book, should be so little known, I mean Dymond's book "On War," published for the first time in London in 1824, and Daniel Musser's book on "Non-resistance," written in 1864.
Ransome would no more have dreamed of cultivating an independent acquaintance with Maudie than he would of pocketing the silver cup that Booty won in last year's Hurdle Race.

He did not know that long afterward he was never to see Winny Dymond's eyes and parted hair without some vision of strength and profound placidity and cleanness. All he said was he supposed there was no law against his occupying the same pavement; and then he could have sworn that Winny's face sent a little ghost of a smile flitting past him through the night.
All or at least the great majority of the people are Christians, and all men are called upon for military service. How ought a man, as a Christian, to meet this demand? This is the gist of Dymond's answer: "His duty is humbly but steadfastly to refuse to serve."
The maids who came out to take the letters were different; in one of them the Emigrant recognised a little girl who had once sat facing him in the Wesleyan day-school; but the bells that fetched them out were those on which he had sounded runaway peals in former days, and with his eyes shut he could have sworn to old Dymond's double-knock.
On December 3 of this year, Mary wrote to inform her sister that, 'In consequence of an article that William wrote on Dymond's Christian Morality, Joseph Hume, the member for Middlesex, wrote to him, and has opened a most promising connection for him with a new Radical newspaper, The Constitutional.
