Just then Charles Lever yelled, `` Hey, Jack '', from the quarry road which ran behind the Carter house, and Jack grabbed the lunch from the table and darted out the kitchen door, yelling `` Good-bye, Mom '' over his shoulder.

Charles said, grinning, showing his huge yellow teeth.

Charles, also fifteen, was tall and skinny, scraggly, with straight black hair like an Indian's and sharp brown eyes.

Charles said as they picked their way over the rocky road which led up the hill away from the Dixie Highway, through a corn field and a patch of woods to the school.

The Charles Men consists not of a connected narrative but of a group of short stories, each depicting a special phase of the general subject.

The Charles Men has a tremendous range of characters, of common folk even more than of major figures.
