I leave to others to survey the broad question of whether or not it will be well for the community that the mass of women should have a collegiate training. It is a wide and wrathful question, and has of late been very well discussed in Romanes's paper, and by Mrs. Lynn Linton.
As a slight illustration of the roughness that pervades all classes in these out-of- the-way villages, I may relate a little adventure which happened to my husband and myself, three years ago, at Addingham From Penigent to Pendle Hill, From Linton to Long-Addingham And all that Craven coasts did tell, &c.
Linton, not only ready to start, but hurrying them off; and there was no lunch to carry, Norah airily declaring that since she and Tommy were to be deserted they declined to be downtrodden, and would motor over with a hamper and picnic at Creek Cottage. There was a mysterious twinkle in Norah's eye; Bob scented something afoot, and tried in vain to pump her on the matter.
Linton was announced, and flowed into the arms of her friend Phyllis, crying: "Of course I knew that you would be at home to me, my beloved, even though you might be in the midst of one of those brilliant speeches which you write out for your father to deliver in the House and cause people to fancy that he is the wittiest man in place so unlike that dreadful teetotal man who grins through the horse collar and thinks that people are imposed on.
"Just as soon as I can possibly arrange to do so; and, Miriam, I want no pains spared to make the home-coming of my wife an agreeable one." "You shall be obeyed," Lady Linton replied, with downcast eyes and a heavily throbbing heart; "but of course you will let me know when to expect you." "Certainly; and the suite of rooms over the library are to be put in order for Virgie."
But Linton requires his whole stock of care and kindness for himself. Linton can play the little tyrant well. He'll undertake to torture any number of cats, if their teeth be drawn and their claws pared. You'll be able to tell his uncle fine tales of his kindness, when you get home again, I assure you. 'You're right there! I said; 'explain your son's character.
I could even manage to exist for three months without reading a report, or writing a despatch." Here there was a hearty laugh, and Mr Linton went on, "There is one voice silent the most important one, it seems to me. Come, doctor, what do you say? may we all go up the country and live in tents?" "Hah!" said Doctor Bolter, "now you have me on the hip. I want to go myself; horribly."
When Presson returned at the head of volunteers the victor was grinding the bleeding face on the floor once more and Linton was screaming appeals. There were enough of them to separate the men. They dragged Harlan away out of the room in spite of his struggles. The mere sight of the lawyer seemed to infuriate him more.
"I could go and try for some," said Bob, rather glumly, "but you mustn't be surprised if I don't come back." "Oh, no, no; you must not run any risks," cried Rachel Linton. "That would be madness, but I'd give anything for some fruit now." "She'd better think about her father," thought Bob, "instead of eating and drinking."
And when she saw that the object was a man, her thoughts flew to the shot she had heard, and to Deveny's words: "Make sure of it." It was Linton, she saw, as she halted the horse near the object she had seen. He was lying on his right side, resting his weight on an elbow, as though trying to rise. In an instant she was out of the saddle and at his side, raising his head.
