Not long after he'd gone, this man Braden came to the door, and asked me if Dr.Ransford was in?
I said he wasn't--he'd just gone out, and I showed the man in which direction.

He said he'd once known a Dr.Ransford, and went away.

A little later, I followed.

Near the entrance of Paradise, I saw Ransford leaving the west porch of the Cathedral.

He was undeniably in a state of agitation--pale, nervous.
