Excerpt from Lovely Woman Feminine precept or example, have fallen from grace and become, as it were, unsexed. The real rea.' on why these washerwomen are allowed to keep their places in the world has its roots in gallantry. To be for ever reproving Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, or Mr. Balfour, or the firm newspaper, or the Spectator, or one's washer woman acquaintances in the law, or medicine, or commerce, were a tedious and uncharitable ofice. One cannot spend one's life training up a woman in the way she should go. It is easier to be pleasant and civil spoken, easier to bow and scrape, and say your servant. To do this, to be magnanimous, to forgive, to make allowances, to be pretty of speech. And crooked of knee, is to be gallant, and to enjoy the good word of women.
