A Shot in the Dark by Saki (1568 words) |
 | Honoria Saltpen-Jago was a person of some social importance in London, of considerable importance and influence in the county of Chalkshire. |
| The county of Chalkshire, or, at any rate, the eastern division of it, was of immediate personal interest to Philip Sletherby; it was held for the Government in the present Parliament by a gentleman who did not intend to seek re-election, and Sletherby was under serious consideration by the party managers as his possible successor. |
| The majority was not a large one, and the seat could not be considered safe for a Ministerial candidate, but there was an efficient local organisation, and with luck the seat might be held. |
