"Some error of my wife's, I fancy."
"As I understand it Mrs. Ransome's let me two rooms, and I've taken them."
"That's right. But you can't have 'em."
"But I've engaged them."
"Sorry, Jujubes. You were a trifle previous. I'm not letting any rooms just yet."
"Mrs. Ransome told me the contrary."
"Then Mrs. Ransome didn't know what she was talking about."
"Rats! When you told her—"
"It's immaterial," said Ranny, with great dignity, "what I told her. For I've changed my mind. See?"
