When they reached the corner of the street leading to Lane End House, Osmond Orgreave said, stopping "Now you'll come with us?" And he looked Edwin hard in the eyes, and there was a most flattering appeal in his voice.
"I must tell you that Mr Millwain is very nervous about getting his hands cold in driving to Hanbridge. And he has asked me to have hot potatoes prepared. Isn't it amusing? It seems hot potatoes are constantly used for this purpose in winter by the pupils of the Royal College of Music, and even by the professors.
Orgreave regretted that pressure of work would prevent him from seeing the fun. Tom was going to see the fun at Hanbridge. Jimmie and Johnnie were going to see the fun, but they would not say where.

The Hanbridge Choir was a rival organization, a vast and powerful affair that fascinated and swallowed promising singers from all the choirs of the vicinity. The Hanbridge Choir had sung at Windsor, and since that event there had been no holding it. All other choirs hated it with a homicidal hatred.

Offering him the cigarette cabinet she breathed the old, effective, sincere answer: 'Not at all, it's very interesting. 'Let me see, this house belongs to you, doesn't it? he said in a different casual tone as he lighted a cigarette. Shortly afterwards he departed.
