It was a privilege for me to meet you and the other dynamic members of the Club, and I really loved having the opportunity to share with you the research that went into Mistress Suffragette!

Thanks again for your insights and for having me there. Best, Diana Forbes(less)

"Perhaps his wife is busy today."
"She shouldn't be." His wife should track him like a bloodhound.”

“I wished he'd stop trying to put me off. It was becoming irksome. Or, if he were, then he really needed to stop acting so damned charming.”
