Miss Rim as we have not been formally introduced I will refrain from using your P,
Why, oh why, would the good lady of any respectable household work towards undoing all that her husband has aimed for during his career, does she not realise that he is no doubt the reason there are downtrodden in any area?
Without the downtrodden how could he keep his Mills running on starvation wages without somebody for his workers to look down on and be grateful that 'there but for the grace of God go I'.
She should be ashamed, there is a place for everyone and everyone should adhere to his/her place. I wish people would refrain from educating women who knows where this could take us?
Bring back the ducking stool & the Scold's Bridle, ahhh, now those were the days,
Yours faithfully,
Col. Buffington (rtd).
