Quote #10

But it was our last night at sea before word reached Mr. Cranston. He was often the last to know anything. I believe he picked up the news about Camilla and Lord Peter Henslowe in the gentlemen's billiard room, or someplace where men gossip. (13.6)

Even though there's gossip all over this ship, somehow Mr. C gets left out of the loop. Sure it's his own daughter getting hitched, and yes even the folks back in America and England know already. But at least he finds out the news eventually… we guess.
