"All these years!" jeered Sally. "Look here, ma.... Here's my marriage license!" And as she spoke she waved the folded paper before her mother's eyes in such a way that it fell open and showed the official entries. Even as she did this so lightly, Sally was able to catch the sharply hidden expression of relief which crossed Mrs. Minto's face at the reassurance.
"Now, however, through Lord Morley's and Lord Minto's reforms, the number of Indians on these councils has been more than doubled in the case of the Imperial Council actually trebled and the absolute right given the people to elect a large proportion, averaging about 40 per cent. of the total number, without reference to the wishes of the government.
The fearless response made by the ruling Chiefs to Lord Minto's appeal for advice and support in the repression of sedition conveys at the same time another lesson which we may well take to heart. The Government of India consulted them after the danger had arisen and become manifest.
Jusserand; Ten Brink; Minto's Characteristics of English Poets. Special Works. The fifteenth century in English literature is sometimes called "the age of arrest." Can you explain why?

In a glance at her little peaked determined face, and obstinate mouth, Mrs. Minto's spirit suddenly failed. Where she had meant to be maternally peremptory she became querulous.
