The militant suffragette was on her feet before the presiding officer had finished speaking.
There was a feeling of serene peace in his heart, now that Parker and the cowboys were safely away on the round-up. In Skinny's heart the feeling was echoed. For a week or more they would be able to love Ophelia and Carolyn June without the constant fear of interruption. Only one thing troubled Old Heck. The widow had not yet exposed her hand in that suffragette movement or whatever it was.
If so, which of them is to yield, if a difference of opinion arises? Surely the most uncompromising suffragette must admit that the wife ought to give way in such a case. That is to say, every one will admit that the wife's domestic authority is subordinate to that of her husband. But is she to be accorded an autonomy in outside affairs that is denied her in the home?

'We've been dreadfully browbeaten about our tactics, but that gentleman with his bad advice makes our tactics sound as innocent and reasonable as they actually are. When you talk in that wild way about bombs you I may be a hooligan' she held up the delicate pink-and-white face with excellent effect 'but you do shock me. It wore well this exquisitely humorous jest about shocking a Suffragette.
"Wild horses not if they have all the mounted police in London shan't keep me out." Part 6 Capes lit things wonderfully for Ann Veronica all that afternoon, he was so friendly, so palpably interested in her, and glad to have her back with him. Tea in the laboratory was a sort of suffragette reception.
"Oh well Don't you suppose there's enough men to go 'round, Tess?" cried Dot, in some alarm. "Wouldn't it be dreadful to grow up like Aunt Sarah or your Miss Andrews?" Tess tossed her head. "I am going to be a suffragette," she announced. "They don't have to have husbands. Anyway, if they have them," qualified Tess, "they don't never bother about them much!"
