Chet and Tobe gazed at her with sagging jaws, then glanced at Hippy. Hippy Wingate tapped his own head with a finger and sighed. "They do get that way sometimes. We have others in our outfit who are similarly affected," he said sadly. "So I have discovered," articulated Ainsworth. "I reckon we'll be going." "Certainly not," interjected Grace. "Don't mind Mr. Wingate.
They had been three days at Saratoga when this little scene occurred and their room was one of those miserable little apartments in the Ainsworth block which look out upon nothing but a patch of weeds and the rear of a church. Ethelyn did not like it at all, and liked it the less because she felt that to some extent her husband was to blame.
The latter, too, long outlived James, who died in 1860, while holding the post of English Consul in Venice, while Ainsworth survived till 1882. But while the attempt of both to imitate Scott was palpable always, the success of neither could be ranked very high by severe criticism.
The first series of Hook's Sayings and Doings appeared in 1824, the year before that of the novels of James and Ainsworth above noticed. He was a Cambridge man: he obtained the Chancellor's prize for English verse in 1825, and his first books were in poetical form.

Arthur had been watching his companions and smoking in silence. He smiled brilliantly at Ainsworth's challenge. "I'm overwhelmed by Bently's oaths," he said. "He outdoes himself to-night." "When it comes time for Tom's epitaph," observed Rangely, "I shall suggest that it be a dash." "Why do you swear so?" inquired Ainsworth. "Don't you think it in execrable taste?"

Ainsworth, Forster, Lover, Macready, Jerdan and other close friends were invited, and the dinner took place at The Prince of Wales Coffee House and Hotel in Leicester Place, Leicester Square. It is very curious that no extended account of this historic event exists.
Considerable damage was inflicted by the explosion, and all the working-men who came to view it regretted only "that the whole concern was not blown into the air." On Friday, October 6th, 1844, an attempt to set fire to the factory of Ainsworth and Crompton, at Bolton, did no damage; it was the third or fourth attempt in the same factory within a very short time.
