Thinking about the possibility of getting closer to Henry Russell in the future, she quickly caught up to Charlotte Cooper and grabbed her arm, "Charlotte, I'm sorry, don't misunderstand my intentions; there's nothing more to it."
Meanwhile, she was plotting to attract Henry Russell's attention and to thoroughly humiliate Charlotte. She couldn't stand Charlotte's attitude towards her at the moment.
Charlotte figured that there would be plenty of opportunities to get back at her later, so she generously accepted her apology. "It's okay. As long as you know it in your heart, I don't want to dwell on it either," she said, taking Henry Russell's arm as they continued walking.
