Of course, she was different from any other woman, but still . Then the Reverend Cecil could not deem it womanly to explore, unchaperoned, the less well-known quarters of four continents, to penetrate even to regions where skirts were considered improper and side-saddles were unknown. Even the nearness of Miss Desmond's fiftieth birthday hardly lessened at all the poignancy of his disapproval.
Oh, yes, and to have my sons able to hunt in red coats and top-boots, and my daughters to ride on side-saddles how do you do, gintlemen? ladies, your most obedient! but, where are we? what is this? Is this the light of hell, and these the devils with their black faces?
Yet I find not her Majesty altogether so sharp as some men look, though her favour has outwardly cooled in respect both of this action and of our plain proceeding with her here in defence thereof." The poor Countess whose imaginary exodus, with the long procession of coaches and side-saddles, had excited so much ire found herself in a most distressing position.

"A burlesque polo match: ladies against men: the men to play on side-saddles by way of a mild handicap! Some of the older folk are a bit horrified at the notion. But I believe it'll come off; and they want me to captain the team." "You? One of the champions of the Punjaub! What impertinence! Shall you?" "Why, certainly. It will be rather a lark."
