"He isn't going to the office today," said Genevieve. "But what can they want of him?"
"To get him to declare for suffrage, my dear."
"Oh—I'm sure he wouldn't do that!"
"Are you, my dear? Are you sure?"
"Well——"
"He has told you his views, of course?"
Genevieve knit her brows. "Why, yes—of course, we've talked about things——"
"My dear, of course he is against suffrage."
"Oh yes, of course. I'm sure he is. Though, you see, I would no more think of intruding in George's business affairs than he would think of intruding in my household duties."
"Naturally, Genevieve. And very sweet and dear of you! But I'm sure you will see how very important this is. Here we are, right at the beginning of his campaign. Those vulgar women are going to hound him. They've begun already. As our committee wrote him last week, it is vitally important that he should declare himself unequivocally at once."
