The Eliotts and the Gardners those are the people who should have been your friends, not the Hannays and the Ransomes; and not, believe me, darling, Mr. Gorst."

"Enough, dear, to see that he isn't fit for you to know."
He felt agreeably excited as he paced the slanting deck. He stayed there in the wind. Downstairs in the cabin the Ransomes were quarrelling. "What on earth," said she, "possessed you to bring him?" "And why not?" "Because of Sarah." "What's she got to do with it?" "Well, you don't want them to meet again, do you?" Dick made his face a puffy blank. "Why the devil shouldn't they?" said he.
I spent two days there with the Ransomes, for they would not hear of my leaving, and half of our spare time, I think, was spent in discussing Nathan Toombs. I was not able to get him out of my mind for days, for his death was one of those events which prove so much and leave so much unproven.
The Ransomes had tried to drag him away, and he had refused to go with them. He had very nearly quarrelled with the Ransomes.

At first he thought nothing of it.
Charlotte didn't mean the nails; she threw open a closet door and ancestral Ransomes, neatly set against the walls, peered out of the dark. Alexina put a hand over Charlotte's on the door knob. Molly yawned. "It seems chilly here in my room," said Charlotte; "the sun isn't round this side yet. Put your hats on the bed and Mrs. Garnier shall go lie on Willy's sofa."
It was as if she had said: Thank God you never had one. The rumour which was going the round of the clubs in due time reached Lady Cayley through the Ransomes. It roused in her many violent and conflicting emotions. She sat trembling in the Ransomes' drawing-room. Mrs. Ransome had just asked whether there was anything in it; because if there was, she, Mrs. Ransome, washed her hands of her.
Before the Ransomes and the Randalls knew where they were the banns had been put up in Wandsworth Parish Church and in the Parish Church of Elstree, in Hertfordshire, and Violet had been twice to tea.
