The Odd Women
Authorship not stated
You are Rhoda Nunn, fifteen, taking tea with the six Madden sisters on the day their father decides to insure his life for a thousand pounds — tomorrow. You needle the room's comfortable idea that daughters should be spared money, work, and the vote, while Alice and Virginia edge toward agreeing with you and Dr Madden defends the shelter he cannot actually promise. He is called out on a bad horse to a patient taken dangerously ill before he can sign anything, and by nine that night, the horse has fallen.
