The Norman caste is stamped inevitably
upon her; her English utterances is the
purity of the tory aristocracy; her man
ner, her dress, her ways and gestures be-
long only to that class from which she
springs, from which she has turned. Her

mouth resemble Ellen Terry's. She has a.
sweet tuned voice, at once gentle and
strong.
Her father was an English colonel, her
sisters husband is fighting now in Africa
all her family, she explained, are union
lists and tories. But she hates England
with deadly hatred, and she lives, as
she declares, for England's overthrow.
