Ransome took the Baby over to Wandsworth , to his mother , to be looked after . At ten o'clock he joined Winny and Maudie and Fred Booty at St. Ann 's Terrace , where they had arranged that Violet was to meet them .

Ten o'clock struck , and the quarter and the half hour , and Violet had not appeared at St. Ann 's Terrace .
