In the great towns beyond the hills, women were still starved and sweated, still enslaved and degraded. Man no doubt was still the stupid and vicious tyrant, the Man-Beast that Gertrude Marvell believed him. But here in this large English village, how the old primal relations stood out! sorrow-laden and sin-stained often, yet how touching, how worthy, in the main, of reverence and tenderness!
