Quote #10
Loosh would not have thought of that if he had come for me, he would have come straight to the college, to Professor Wilkins', and told his news and then sat down and let me take charge from then on. But not Ringo. (7.1.6)
Now the admiration is for Ringo instead of the other way around. Bayard notes that Ringo isn't just a silent servant, waiting for orders. Ringo takes the initiative and does what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, without being told. He's a leader, even though he's still Bayard's servant.
