"Are you sure that the meeting is quite unexpected by both parties?" she returned, with a grave smile. "If we are surprised, Mr. Hargreaves, I fancy that our young charges may have been rather better informed in advance than we were." The gentleman shrugged his shoulders. "I give that up!" he said. "It may be. I see you have your hands full here.
The power which man can build up within himself, for himself, is nothing. Only the dull reasoning of gratified egotism can make it seem worth while. Then what IS worth while? Let us look at some of the men who have come and gone, and whose lives inspire us. Take a few at random: Columbus, Michael Angelo, Wilberforce, Shakespeare, Galileo, Fulton, Watt, Hargreaves these will do.
He was setting up that wonderful novelty a steam-engine. He had already been to Manchester and elsewhere, and seen how the new power was applied by Arkwright, Hargreaves, and others; his own ingenuity and mechanical knowledge furnished the rest. He worked early and late often with his own hands aided by the men he brought with him from Manchester.
While the sad procession had been absent, the boys had gone to Mrs. Hargreaves' room. The curtain was drawn, and they could hear the girls sobbing inside. "Please, Miss Hargreaves, can I speak to you for a moment?" Ned said. "I would not intrude, but it is something particular." Edith Hargreaves came to the door.

Seth was the only silent member of the party, but this was hardly noticeable, for he rarely had much to say for himself. On the way home Rosebud at last found reason to grumble at his silence.
In 1767, James Hargreaves, an illiterate weaver residing near Church, in Lancashire, who seven years previously had invented a carding machine, much like that in use at the present day, invented the spinning jenny, by which eighty spindles were set to work instead of the one of the spinning wheel.
Hargreaves was much moved, and the girls wept unrestrainedly, while Colonel Warrener, who had made his adieus, and was standing a little back, lifted his eyebrows, with a comical look of astonishment, as he saw the farewell embraces of his sons with Edith and Nelly. "Humph!" he muttered to himself. "A bad attack of calf love all round.
Go ahead, call in your gang, and let me know what you'll be able to do, as soon as sooner than it's possible." He turned to Hargreaves. "Les, you'll have charge of flying the security patrols, and doing anything else you can to keep Orgzild from bombing us before we can bomb him. You'll have priority on everything second only to Pickering." Hargreaves nodded.
"I think the Terrans ought to be told the worst," Hargreaves said. "And told that our only hope is to get a bomb of our own built and dropped first. As to the Kragans.... What do you think, King Kankad?" "Tell them that we are building a bomb to destroy Keegark; that we are running short of ammunition, and that it is our only hope of finishing the war before the ammunition is gone," Kankad said.
While the maids went to the "slums," the mistresses went to the suburbs. Looking at it in that way, one sometimes doesn't feel so sorry for the maids. What did Wyatt get out of it? Imprisonment for debt and the buzz of antiquarians above his rotted corpse. Wyatt and his equally humble successors in genius, Hargreaves and Crompton, artisans!
