Lady Connie

CHAPTER II
12/43

"She'll make us all do what she wants.

She'll be like a cuckoo in the nest.

She'll be too strong for us." Ewen Hooper put out a soothing hand, and patted his youngest daughter on the shoulder.
"Wait a bit, my dear.

And when Connie comes back just ask her to step in here a moment.

And now will you both please be gone--at once ?--quick once ?--quick march!" And taking his wife and daughter by the shoulders, he turned them both forcibly out, and sat down to make his final preparations for a lecture that afternoon on the "feminism" of Euripides.
* * * * * Meanwhile Connie Bledlow and her maid were walking quickly down the Broad towards the busy Cornmarket with its shops.
