Being asked, What became of the children and women of the family of the prince of that country? he said, The Rajah was a minor; the government was in the hands of the Ranny, his mother: from general report he has heard they were carried to Trichinopoly, and placed in confinement there.
"They are coming." Two minutes later Mr. and Mrs. Ranny, emerging from the thicket with their hands full of wild flowers, found Eleanor seated in the car in a bored attitude, while Quin solicitously examined a rear tire. "It's all settled!" Mr. Ranny cried exultingly. "The farm is ours!"
They behaved in all ways as if the ghost of a dead Violet sat in her old place, facing Ranny. The feeling, embraced by each of them with the most profound sincerity, was that Ranny's bereavement was irreparable, supreme. Each was convinced with an inassailable and immutable conviction that the thing that had happened was, for each of them, the worst that could happen.
She's done the best day's work she ever did for herself and me, too." "Well, how you can speak about it so, Ranny," said his mother. "There you're at it again, you know pretendin'. You go on as if it was the most horrible thing that could happen to any one, her boltin', when you know the most horrible thing would be her comin' back again.
What was worse, far worse, it would ruin Winny. Whatever he did he must keep Winny out of it. "I haven't said I was going to bring an action." "Well and I don't advise you to. Why have the scandal and the publicity when you can avoid it?" "Why, Ranny," his mother cried, "it would kill your Father." Ranny scowled. Her cry failed to touch him. Mr. Randall went on.
He took me away from there, and I've been with him all the time. There wasn't anybody else. I swear there wasn't I swear." "Oh, you needn't." He got up and walked away. "Ranny don't go for the cab until I've told you everything." "I'm not going. What more have you got to say?" "Don't look at me like that, as if you could murder me. You wouldn't if you knew how he's served me. He beat me, Ranny.
"Give me my boat, I say," he cried, "and don't call me Rene, for my name's Randall and you know it!" "Hello!" said Hastings, "Randall? that's English." "I am American," announced the boy in perfectly good English, turning to look at Hastings, "and she's such a fool she calls me Rene because mamma calls me Ranny "
"Good Lord! Why haven't you told me this before? Call Isobel! No! she's at church! Get Ranny! Somebody must go after the child!" Quin laid a quieting hand on her arm, which was shaking as if with the palsy. "Don't get excited," he urged. "Somebody did go after her last night, and brought her home." "But where is she now? Where is that contemptible Phipps? I'll have him arrested!
He groped about in it till he found his way into the passage and opened the door and let Violet in. She said she was all right now. Her candle would be left there for her, on the shelf. But it wasn't, and Violet didn't like the dark. She was afraid of it. So Ranny lit a match. He lit several matches and lighted her all the way up the narrow staircase to the door of her little bedroom at the back.
Ranny inviting the children to spend the following week at Valley Mead. But, in spite of the success of his mission, he sat with a box of fresh eggs in his lap and a huge bunch of flowers in his hand, his hat rammed over his eyes, staring gloomily out of the car window into the starless night.
