A1 S2 Sightseeing Flashcards
EDWARDS: Right there! I saw it, plain as day, I swear to God Lloyd.
You don’t believe in God, Edwards.
EDWARDS: Sitting… astride.
Here?
E: Wind in her hair. I think she might’ve been smiling.
Don’t romanticize it, Edwards; she was a vision.
E: She seemed so…free
Free? Is that what you call it? Women riding bicycles? Next, they’ll be running with books under their arms and trousers on. What’s next, Edwards? They’ll want to row against lads in the May Races?
WILL: I wouldn’t mind if they did.
You wouldn’t mind, Bennet? Then perhaps you ought to be the one to tell Head Master his precious halls are overrun with corseted scientists! Blue Stocking!
E: Maybe it wouldn’t be the worst thing.
It would be a disgrace, Edwards. Men built these institutions— Newton, Darwin, Milton— and I’ll be damned if they’re toppled by women on wheels.
