The Women of Eden
“. . . Will you youths of England make your country again a royal throne of kings, a sceptered isle, for all the world a source of light, a centre of peace, mistress of learning and of the arts, faithful guardian of time-honored principles? ... If we can get men for little pay to cast themselves against cannon-mouth for love of England, we must find men who also will plough and sow for her, who will behave kindly and righteously for her, and who will bring up their children to love her. . . . Th...is is what England must either do or perish. . . .

Standing safely in the shadows of the red velour stage curtains of Jeremy Sims' Song and Supper Club off the Strand, Mary Eden looked over her shoulder at her two watchdogs.MoreLess
