Question: Q: CHAPTER XVI The Drive To Backsworth 

She was betrothed to one now dead, Or worse, who had dishonoured fled.--SCOTT 

The party set out for Backsworth early in the day. It included Julius, who had asked for a seat in the carriage in order to be able to go on to Rood House, where lived Dr. Easterby, whom he had not seen since he had been at Compton. 

"The great light of the English Church," said Rosamond, gaily; while Anne shuddered a little, for Miss Slater had told her that he was the great fountain-head of all that distressed her in Julius and his curates. But Julius merely said, "I am very glad of the opportunity;" and the subject dropped in the eager discussion of the intended pastimes, which lasted beyond the well-known Wil'sbro' bounds, when again Julius startled a Anne by observing, "No dancing? That is a pity." 

"There, Anne!" exclaimed Rosamond. 

"It was out of kindness to me," said Anne: and then, with a wonderful advance of confidence, she added, "Please tell me how you, a minister, can regret it?" 

"Because I think it would be easier to prevent mischief than when there has to be a continual invention of something original. There is more danger of offence and uncharitableness, to speak plainly." 

"And you think that worse than dancing?" said Anne, thoughtfully. 

"Why is dancing bad at all, Anne?" asked Rosamond. 

Anne answered at once, "It is worldly." 

"Not half so worldly as driving in a carriage with fine horses, and liveries, and arms, and servants, and all," said Rosamond from her comfortable corner, nestling under Miles's racoon-skin rug; "I wonder you can do that!"

Q: A recent Treasury Department report of misconduct by a banking regulator is giving watchdogs some ammunition to argue that financial regulators are too cozy with the banks they are tasked with overseeing. 

The report, part of a small batch just released by the department's inspector-general, says that a government employee in Florida who served as a bank examiner accepted "gratuities (golf fees and/or food) on at least four occasions" from a bank he was reviewing. The report, conducted in 2010, called the situation a "conflict of interest" for the employee, who worked at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. 

"You have a government employee, during a time when he has a special responsibility to oversee this bank, actually taking time from work and going to play golf with these folks," said Michael Smallberg, a researcher with the Project on Government Oversight. "It was a pretty striking example of a government employee actually cozying up to the folks he's supposed to be regulating." 

But Inspector-General Eric Thorson, who polices the Treasury Department and released the files, defended the agency. 

"These investigative reports are good examples of the fact that the department has been successful in demonstrating that there is little toleration for individual misconduct." 

"My opinion is that Treasury has an institutional highly ethical culture," he added. 

But Smallberg is still critical. "When folks wonder why regulators didn't do a better job of stopping the financial crisis, or they're wondering why OCC didn't spot the huge trading loss at JP Morgan earlier this year, I think part of the issue is just that the examiners were just too close to the folks they were supposed to be examining," he said. 

Answer the following questions:
1. What was the recent report about?
2. Was this a big batch?
3. When was the report?
4. What was it called?
5. Who took up for the agency?
6. Who was he?
7. What does he do?
8. Where these reports bad or good?
9. How were they good?
10. What was Thorsons thoughts on the Treasury?
11. Did Smallberg have any thoughts?
12. What was one of his thoughts?
A: 1. Misconduct by a banking regulator
2. No
3. 2010
4. A "conflict of interest" for the employee
5. Eric Thorson
6. Inspector-General
7. Polices the Treasury Department
8. Good
9. They are good examples that there is little toleration for individual misconduct.
10. It has an institutional highly ethical culture.
11. Yes
12. That the examiners were just too close to the folks they were supposed to be examining
Q: (CNN) -- A 7-year-old Georgia girl fought off a man who'd grabbed her in the aisle of a Walmart, with police eventually tracking down the suspect they accuse of attempted kidnapping. 

Georgeann Baxter told HLN's Jane Velez-Mitchell that she was in the Bremen store with her daughter, Brittney, on Wednesday. 

"We were walking around the Walmart, and we felt safe," the mother said, talking about how they were looking at Valentine's Day cards and toys in the west Georgia store, about 45 miles west of Atlanta. 

When Baxter asked her daughter if she wanted to join her to get strawberries, the girl said that she wanted to stay in the toy aisle for a few more minutes. 

Soon thereafter, surveillance video from the Walmart -- later released by Bremen police -- shows a man approaching her. 

"He came up to me and started a conversation," Brittney recalled Thursday to HLN. "After ... I said, 'I'm going to get my Mommy." 

The man is seen in the video picking up the young girl and starting to carry her away, as she flailed. 

Brittney said she responded as she'd been taught by family, including her brother in the U.S. Army, and a school counselor in a lesson on how to respond if you're touched inappropriately. 

"Punch, kick and scream as hard as you can, and then tell somebody that you trust," she said of what she did -- and what she'd tell others to do, if they're in the same situation. 

Eventually, the man put the girl down and fled the store. Police later caught and arrested Thomas Woods, whom they accuse of trying to kidnap Brittney. 

Answer the following questions:
1. What store did the incident happen?
2. Who did it happen to?
3. In what aisle was it?
4. Does she have a brother?
5. Is he in the military?
6. What branch?

3. Valentine's Day
4. yes

8. Thomas Woods
