Albert here rose to his feet, and raised his right hand in token of his identity. The District Attorney said, "This prisoner I have indicted by the grand jury." "Shall we waive the reading of the indictment?" asked Charlton's counsel. "No," said Albert, "let it be read," and he listened intently while the clerk read it. "Albert Charlton, you have heard the charge.
Who told you as much? was in Rossitur's open eyes, and upon his tongue; but few ever asked naughty questions of Mr Carleton. Charlton's eyes came back, not indeed to their former dimensions, but to his plate, in silence. "He was incomprehensible," he said after a minute, "and didn't act like himself I don't know what was the matter. I shall call him to account for it." "Capt.
He was even now planning to extort from his vacillating wife a written statement that should contradict any confession of hers to Isa and Lurton. Fly swiftly, pen! For Isa Marlay knew the stake in this game, and she did not mean that any chance of securing Charlton's release should be neglected. She knew nothing of legal forms, but she could write a straight-out statement after a woman's fashion.
Oh why must I so often, so cruelly, though so reluctantly, reject and reprove the man who of all men I wish to accept and to please!" But yet, though repining at this hard necessity, she hesitated not a moment in complying with Mrs Delvile's request, and immediately sent an answer that she would meet her the next morning at Mrs Charlton's.
Jane was not surprised to see an expression of at least partial admission upon her father's face. Charlton's words were of the kind that set the imagination to work, that remind those who hear of a thousand and one familiar related facts bearing upon the same points.

The way you yanked me out of the sinks was painful, but thorough. I'll be a friend to Mr. Beaudry if he is of the same opinion as you. And I'll dance at his wedding when it comes off." She cried out at that, but Charlton noticed that she made no denial. Neither did Roy. He confined his remarks to the previous question, and said that he would be very glad of Charlton's friendship. "Good enough.

Fleda wrestled with her agitation for a minute or two, and than got up and put both arms round her uncle's neck. "Don't talk so, dear uncle Rolf! you make us very unhappy aunt Lucy did not mean any such thing it is only Charlton's nonsense.
Lester was the manager of a mine and quartz-crushing battery near Charlton's plantation on the Lower Burdekin River when he "took it out" of its owner.
