There had nearly always been a girl called Charity in the Coe family. They had brought the name with them from New England when they settled in Westchester County some two hundred years before. They had kept little of their Puritanism except a few of the names. This sportswoman called Charity had been trying to live up to her name, of late. That was why she was haggard.
The hounds were streaking along over a succession of pasture fields, and the cattle gaps which were to be found in every fence vexed the proud soul of Mrs. Pat.

I was never so happy in my life, and when I just couldn't help saying so to Sir Lionel, what do you suppose he answered? "That's exactly what I was thinking." And then he added: "Good girl! Grand little sportswoman! I'm proud of you!" Presently, once in a while the dazzling radiance of our lamps would die down and threaten to fail.
He looked sorrowfully at his sister who had gone ahead of him, when he stumbled. He did want so much to win! But Mab was a real "sportswoman," for there are such you know even little girls.
