Comedy, History |
The women's placards arrive; unfortunately they're the wrong shape and too cumbersome. The women prepare for action but are unsure what form this should take. Emily suggests blowing up Parliament or killing the King, which Margaret writes on a chalkboard. They finally decide to picket the post office, but must ask for it to remain open. When a statue of Venus in the library is desecrated, P.C. John Thackeray, an old flame of Margaret's, comes to investigate. Emily's chalked suggestions look ominous, but it turns out that the culprits are another group of suffragists.
