The matter is not at an end not till I have received an answer from this Railsford here to my question! Let him get up like a man and say he did not attack me like a coward last term, and allow the blame and suspicion to fall on others; let him even get up and declare that he does not know anything about the affair. I defy him to do it! He dare not!"
"When Meester Beekaire can speak like a gentleman, he " Here the chairman interrupted. "I addressed my question to Mr Railsford," said he. "I can understand he declines, under present circumstances, to make any reply to these accusations. But may I suggest it would be most unfortunate if we had to adjourn this disagreeable question again?
No one of course supposed for a moment they would carry off all the prizes they entered for; and, after the removal of the ban upon the house, it was pretty generally calculated they they would do a great deal less than they would have done under the old order of things. But Railsford was not the man to allow the house to rest on their oars because of a single success.

"I am Mr Railsford, the new master," said he presently, overtaking Mrs Hastings, as she hobbled back in dudgeon to her work; "which are my rooms?" "I'm sure I don't know. You're a day too early.
Railsford, after what had happened, was hardly likely to consider Bateson's lot a happy one, and kept a sharp look-out to prevent any mischief coming to the luckless Baby on account of his confessions.
Railsford vouchsafed no reply but a contemptuous shrug. He was in no humour to see the joke. Disgust was his one sensation. "Order, please," said the chairman. "These meetings, if they are to be of any value, must be conducted without any quarrelling. Mr Bickers, may we consider this unpleasant affair now at an end?" "No!" shouted Mr Bickers. "I have been insulted! I don't care by whom!
Railsford sat down, very hot, and painfully conscious that he had not exhibited the moderation and temper which he had promised himself to observe. An embarrassed silence ensued. Mr Roe, a man of peace, frowned, and turned inquiringly to Bickers. Bickers stroked his beard and smiled, and said nothing. "Do you wish to say anything?" asked the chairman. "By no means.
Barnworth there being no more chairs in the room sat as gracefully as he could on the corner of the table. "I thought it would be well," began Railsford, still dallying with the poker "won't you bring your chair in nearer, Stafford?" Stafford manoeuvred his chair in between Ainger and Felgate.
