Excerpt from Mildred's Career: A Tale of the Women's Suffrage Movement Shaddon is a newly-enfranchised borough. When it was advanced to that dignity from being a simple parish and-township certain of the inhabitants declared that they did not see what would be the advantage of the change. They had done very well without returning a member to Parliament. On the eve of the first election, When an unwonted excitement prevailed, and politics became the topic of the day, to the exclusion of all the ordinary subjects of conver sation, it is reported that some persons, we Shall not be so invidious as to specify the sex, went so far as to pronounce that the place would no longer be worth living in. We quote these Opinions to save our readers and ourselves some trouble, as they convey an impression of the tone of the place as well or better than pages of description. The dismal foreboding of the evils to follow the gift of the franchise proved however ground less. The dreaded election passed over very quietly, the Conservative candidate Was returned Without opposition, and Shaddon quickly fell back into its old grooves, nor had there Since been another election to disturb its normal tranquillity. A pleasant place, in its way, was Shaddon (we refer to about ten years ago) - where any one, overwrought by the hurry and excitement of life, might spend a little time very happily, to rest and recruit. There was good trout fishing in that clear stream which, now Winding through green fields, now Sparkling over stones, had the effect of a bright eye in the landscape. The air was very fine; it could not be otherwise, blowing over such scented meadows. Scattered here and there were a few gentle men's residences, more or less pretentious in appearance, and it is to one of these that we would draw your attention.
