"Professor Tumbler lays particular stress on the outrageous conduct of the English suffragettes.
By some devilish lucky chance I had no sooner got to London from Southhampton, day before yesterday, than some one told me all about the expected row between the Suffragettes and the police. Thought I'd go and see for myself what this meant. No idea before how far the thing had gone, or what brutes the police could be.
'Oh, would you mind Miss Levering politely suggested another place for his feet. But the old man had no mind left for a mere bystander it was all absorbed in Suffragettes. ''is feet are filthy muddy, 'm, whispered Gorringe. It may have been in part the maid's genteel horror of such proximities that steeled Miss Levering to endure them.
Incensed at the repeated chicanery of politicians who alternately made and evaded their promises, a group of suffragettes known as the "militants" resorted to open violence. When arrested for damaging property, they went on a "hunger strike," refusing all nourishment.
This was not, however, his official position, as Edestone had turned over to him the task of answering the great volume of communications that he had received from amateurs, fanatics, ladies, and criminals, and it devolved upon him to answer these and also to provide for the entertainment of the representatives of the Anarchists, Socialists, Organized Labour, and Suffragettes.
From her trim blue satin slippers to the demure little band of blue at her throat she was more enchantingly fresh than ever. Suffragettes and that sort of thing were all very well on the Avenue. Give me Eleanore at home. "Did you see the parade?" she inquired. "Yes." "Did you see me?" I fairly jumped! "You?" I demanded. "Were you in that march?" "I most certainly was," she said quietly.
The existing laws and conventions of relationship between Man and Woman were just as unsatisfactory a disorder as anything else in our tumbled confusion of a world, and that also was coming to bear upon statecraft. My first parliament was the parliament of the Suffragettes. I don't propose to tell here of that amazing campaign, with its absurdities and follies, its courage and devotion.
And now the champion of the Suffragettes had come to the surface again with his 'Wait a bit 'arf a minute, my man. 'Oo you talkin' to? I ain't your man! 'Oh, that's lucky for me. There seems to be an individual here who doesn't think women ought to 'ave the vote. 'One? Oh-h! They all but wiped him out again in laughter; but he climbed on the top of the great wave of sound with
Well, to get this honest but unpleasant business over, the objection to the Suffragettes is not that they are Militant Suffragettes. On the contrary, it is that they are not militant enough. A revolution is a military thing; it has all the military virtues; one of which is that it comes to an end.
Ernestine tells me that Battersea has got so used now to the ding-dong and to associating it with "our meeting," that as far off as they hear it the inhabitants say, "It's the Suffragettes! Come along!" and from one street and another the people emerge laughing and running. Of course as soon as there is a little crowd that attracts more, and so the snowball grows. Sometimes the traffic is impeded.
