With all that energy and perfect health, that keen brain and the indomitable strain that never knows when it is beaten, she might have done almost anything.

She might have been a Lipton or a Coats, or even gone out and discovered the South Pole, or contested Lloyd George's Welsh seat in the Conservative interest.

As a woman she is cribbed and cabined.

What she has set herself to do is to force what she calls 'The County' to recognise her, and marry off her girl as well as possible.

She has accomplished the first part through sheer perseverance, and I've no doubt she will accomplish the second; the girl is pretty and well dowered.
