But the tip had not come yet.
Man-like, he forgot that women needed something more than money and attention from an army of servants. He had his offices, his stock-ticker, his warfare. Not because she wanted to vote, but because she wanted and needed something to do. "Molly, old girl, I begin to see. I'm going to finance a home-bureau of charity. I mean it.
