"I don't think you appreciate the strength of our position," I began. "You are no doubt aware that the office of the New Militant has been raided; your friend Mrs. Millington has been arrested, and there is a warrant out against your other friend, Miss Davenant."
"They haven't caught her," said Miss Draper, defiantly.
