'She has very often talked to me about a woman's right to the same freedom as a man, and I always understood that Mr.Widdowson objected to her going anywhere without him, except just to call here, or at my lodgings.' 'Do you think she has any acquaintance that he dislikes ?' The direct answer was delayed, but it came at length.
'There is some one.
