"It sounds very charming!" she said; "I am sure it would be most entertaining, but would it not involve a great deal of preparation? Do you think you have realised how much work you will have?" "Oh yes, Miss Bruce, but we can manage it easily!" cried the Chairwoman. "We can get as many helpers as we like in game hours, and you always allow us an afternoon off to make preparations."
She never lost her hold on them until the appearance on the plinth of a grave, rugged, middle-aged man in a soft hat. 'That's 'im! 'Yes. Lothian Scott! Small need for the chairwoman to introduce the grey man with the northern burr in his speech, and the northern turn for the uncompromising in opinion.
If I could have attended the convention in Boston, and had been allowed to speak and I am sure the distinguished Chairwoman would have given me a chance it would have been the best way, no doubt, to set our case before the world. I must first tell you how it was that we succeeded in forcing the men to accept our claims, so much in advance of other States.
That would be running no risks. A few words from you, just to explain and put them at their ease " He laughed. "Cunning woman!" said he, addressing an invisible audience. "She means, 'to put her at her ease, by my taking over the few well-chosen remarks expected of the chairwoman. . . . My dear, I know you will be horribly nervous, and it would be easy enough for me to do the talking.
"How many societies is she chairwoman of?" said Lance. "I counted twenty-four pigeon-holes in her cabinet one day, and I believe there was a society for each of them; but I must say she is quiet about them."

At last I came so near that I saw the dwellinghouse.
It has been thought advisable," continues the chairwoman, "that the village should meet the dear Count and his bride at some spot not too far removed from the local alehouse. The costume to be worn by the ladies will consist of a short pink skirt terminating at the knees and ornamented with festoons of flowers; above will be worn a bolero in mauve silk without sleeves and cut decollete.
If some 'Chairwoman of Progress' were to grab off the Princess, does it take science to give 'em 'Fresh Evidence that Woman was Evolved from a Higher Order of Quadrumanous Ape than Man? We all know what the clubs want, and if they get it, they'd vote any one of us as bright a light as Haeckel. Pros., you saved any clippings for the Princess?"
"There are no two opinions on the matter," continued Miss Ravenscroft. "Yesterday a meeting of the governors was convened. They assembled in the committee-room, and I was present. Ruth was sent for and questioned by Miss Mackenzie, our chairwoman. She was asked certain questions, which she absolutely refused to answer.
"The dear Count's wedding," announces the chairwoman, "you will all be pleased to hear, has been fixed for the fourteenth, at eleven o'clock in the morning. The entire village will be assembled at ten- thirty to await the return of the bridal cortege from the church, and offer its felicitations. Married ladies, will, of course, come accompanied by their husbands.
