'Warrants are out against three men for conspiracy, mother. The
riot yesterday helped to knock up the strike.' And Margaret's name was no more mentioned between Mrs. Thornton
and her son. They fell back into their usual mode of talk,--about
facts, not opinions, far less feelings. Their voices and tones
were calm and cold a stranger might have gone away and thought
that he had never seen such frigid indifference of demeanour
between such near relations.
