Even if we are beaten out of our boots, I've got that defiance to remember, and the picture of Jimmy Grayson refusing either to be browbeaten or cajoled, even though the price was the Presidency." "We know where we stand," said Mr. Heathcote, "and that at least is a gain." As for Sylvia, she was thrilling with pride.
We talked it all out, and I came to some perception of the fearful ordeal it had been first, in the decision neither to shut his eyes, nor to conceal that they were open; and then in the lack of presence of mind and the sense of confusion that always beset him when browbeaten and talked down, so that, in the critical contest with Tooke, he felt as if his feet were slipping from under him, and what had once been clear to him was becoming dim, so that he had only been assured that he had held his ground by Tooke's redoubled persuasions and increased anger.
"And I," I retorted, "am not going to be browbeaten in my own home by one-foot-nothing of crankiness and chiffon." So, laughingly, we parted for the night, the best of friends. If only, I thought, she could sweep her head clear of Adrian, what a fascinating little person she might be.

'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.

Edna was astonished. She knew that her work was not perfect, but she was equally sure that it was not contemptible.

Slowly, as she listened and mainly under the influence of indignation her colour had returned, her face grown more firm, her form more stiff. In truth Colonel John had adopted the wrong course with her. He had been hard knowing men better than women when he should have been mild; he had browbeaten where he should have forgiven.
