What time are you free ?" "You know not till eight to-night, damn it!" And directly the two women moved on.
Paul remembered that Clara Dawes was the daughter of an old friend of Mrs.Leivers.Miriam had sought her out because she had once been Spiral overseer at Jordan's, and because her husband, Baxter Dawes, was smith for the factory, making the irons for cripple instruments, and so on.
Through her Miriam felt she got into direct contact with Jordan's, and could estimate better Paul's position.

She was supposed to be clever.

Baxter Dawes he knew and disliked.

The smith was a man of thirty-one or thirty-two.
