At this juncture Golspie, with the resuscitated Lena, embarks for South America, while Miss Matfield, who had finally consented to a weekend trip with her tycoon, forlornly looks for him at Victoria station, waiting to be seduced. The book closes with glimpses of the Smeeth and Dersingham families, sitting about the collapsed business and hoping for a fall...
