"Thank you, Gustavus," he said, entering.
Evelyn and Middleton, will you have the goodness to come with me?" And he led the way into the hall. We could hear Ralph in the next room, humming over an old Irish melody, with an improvised accompaniment. "Now show me her room," said Charles, "and please be quick about it."

Surely, none of those schemers would dare sneak into the hall and kidnap either of the two new recruits.
