“And another thing, Islington, if we’re speaking in general terms, mothers, sisters, and wives seldom get the last word. You men run everything. The entire gambit that has become our society is of your making! We can’t even marry without it being a business arrangement, usually in your favour. As for stalking, an Englishman can walk anywhere without accounting to a soul. A woman can scarcely visit a neighbour without scrutiny. Therefore, I reject your claims.”
