fact. All the fury had left her, swamped by an inexplicable flood of
warmth. I acted in plays, I studied philosophy,
mathematics, and science. She'll have this hour always
with her; and you failed her. It was still so dark, that nothing could be distinguished except
the heavy masses of timber by which the premises were surrounded; but as they
advanced, lights were visible in some of the windows. She was still more stirred
by the idea of the equal citizenship of men and women, by the realization that a
big and growing organization of women were giving form and a generalized
expression to just that personal pride, that aspiration for personal freedom and
respect which had brought her to London; but when she heard Miss Miniver
discoursing on the next step in the suffrage campaign, or read of women
badgering Cabinet Ministers, padlocked to railings, or getting up in a public
meeting to pipe out a demand for votes and be carried out kicking and
screaming, her soul revolted.
