You mayn't be a Chartered Accountant or Actuary--the Lord alone knows why! I suppose some Lord Chancellor was done in the eye in Elizabeth's reign by an actuary and laid down that law.

Equally you mayn't be a clergyman.

It's rather piteous about the prohibiting Accountants, because as women we are not allowed to qualify in _any_ capacity as Accountants or Actuaries; and work here is only permissible by our not pretending to belong to any recognized body like the Institute of Actuaries.

So that in coming to work for you I must not seem to be in any way doing the business of Accountants or Actuaries.
