Women for votes

by Elizabeth Hughes

MILDRED. I don’t believe there will be any danger of that.

MR. BECKER. I don’t know. You can’t tell what a mob of women will do when they get started. Look at the way they behave at bargain counters, and at the excesses of the women in the French Revolution.

MILDRED. I should not think you would want to marry if you feel that way about women.

MR. BECKER. I am thinking of women in a crowd, not of exceptional individuals.

MILDRED. Come and see the Parade to-morrow and you will think differently. Everything is to be as well ordered and dignified as possible.

MR. BECKER. Are you going to march?

MILDRED. Yes, indeed.

MR. BECKER. Well, I will come, but I shall imagine you as walking up the aisle of a church as a bride. (They continue conversing in low tones.)

(Enter Katy who goes over to Mrs. Tilsbury.)
