CHAPTER XXI.
IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE.
Having worked diligently through nearly two years on the second volume of "The History of Woman Suffrage," I looked forward with pleasure to a rest, in the Old World, beyond the reach and sound of my beloved Susan and the woman suffrage movement.

On May 27, 1892, I sailed with my daughter Harriot on the _Chateau Leoville_ for Bordeaux.

The many friends who came to see us off brought fruits and flowers, boxes of candied ginger to ward off seasickness, letters of introduction, and light literature for the voyage.

We had all the daily and weekly papers, secular and religious, the new monthly magazines, and several novels.

We thought we would do an immense amount of reading, but we did very little.
