Ross reached the Cadogan Hotel about 1.45 and found Oscar there with Reggie Turner.

Both of them advised Oscar to go at once to Dover and try to get to France; but he would only say, "the train has gone; it is too late." He had again lapsed into inaction.
He asked Ross to go to see his wife and tell her what had occurred.
Ross did this and had a very painful scene: Mrs.Wilde wept and said, "I hope Oscar is going away abroad." Ross returned to the Cadogan Hotel and told Oscar what his wife had said, but even this didn't move him to action.
He sat as if glued to his chair, and drank hock and seltzer steadily in almost unbroken silence.

About four o'clock George Wyndham came to see his cousin, Alfred Douglas; not finding him, he wanted to see Oscar, but Oscar, fearing reproaches, sent Ross instead.

Wyndham said it was a pity that Bosie Douglas should be with Oscar, and Ross immediately told him that Wilde's friends for years past had been trying to separate them and that if he, Wyndham, would keep his cousin away, he would be doing Oscar the very greatest kindness.

At this Wyndham grew more civil, though still "frightfully agitated," and begged Ross to get Oscar to leave the country at once to avoid scandal.
