"Oh, no; I am only here to meet a friend," she replied. "Have you just arrived by this train? Have you been away?" Charlesworth laughed and replied: "What an unkind question, Mrs. Smith!

They were comparatively young men about forty. They were men of great energy. Their chief interests were in educational matters that, no doubt, was why John Mallathorpe had appointed them trustees. Wyatt had been plaguing the town for two years to start commercial schools: Charlesworth was a devoted champion of technical schools.
A letter was read also at this sitting from major Cartwright, of Marnham, in which he offered his own services, in conjunction with those of the reverend John Charlesworth, of Ossington, for the county of Nottingham.
"I should not be very welcome at your hotel or to your friends, Miss Daleham." "Oh, of course you would," replied the girl, feeling sorry for him but uncertain what to say. "Will you come and see me tomorrow?" "You forget. You are going to the gymkhana with that insolent English officer." "Now don't be unjust. I'm sure Captain Charlesworth wasn't at all insolent. But I forgot the gymkhana.
