And fight we will.

We all collected in a house I had not been in before, but the several women I had seen before were there, including Violet and Edith. A small audience was formed in front of the short woman, and immediately we all went into training.

"Everyone, find a partner."

All fighting for our cause. We paired up, Edith almost instantly locking her arm with mine. Her lips closing in next to my ear as she began to whisper.

"If you want to change the way the world is run, you have to be vigilant."

Then it happened, she tipped me over her shoulder, barely holding onto my arm as my body flipped to the carpet. She chuckled a little as she helped me up.

"Jolly good."

The claps came up, applauding that I had done my first sparring. Although I lost, they saw it as progress, and that's what mattered.

Me and Violet walked urgently over the brick covered ground, several boxes of 'Letters' in our bags. We reassured each other and then lit the match, throwing the package into the bright, red letter box.

We ran as it sparked behind us and then 'Bang!' The first explosion of our mission. One after one exploded over the whole of London, every woman doing their job correctly.

Only a few days later, a woman was arrested at the pharmacy. Fear struck me that it was Mrs Ellyn herself, but it had 'just' been a member. We took a discreet stroll, me, Violet and Edith, along the river Thames.

"This isn't the time to stand down, no, we push on. Capitalize on press interest. Though they scorn and mock us, they feel our threat."

Another lady appears, showing a familiarity with Edith herself.

"Mrs. Haughton.. have you got the information I asked for?"

It was a direct question, and it was given a quick and direct answer by the mysterious Haughton lady.

"Lloyd George's summerhouse is not yet completed. He was complaining about it at dinner just the other night. It's being built next to the golf course at Walton-on-the-hill, paid for by the owner of the 'News of the world'."

We nodded, though I was not sure exactly what it all meant.

"Valuable information, thank you."
_______________________________

It turns out, the information was crucial.. because that's where the plan was heading next.

Violet, the woman who had helped me get here, turned out to be pregnant.. she had to stop this before she and the to be baby got hurt, so it was just a few women left now..

We were sat in her study, just me and Edith... she was grinding up a powder of some sort into a mortar, a strange focus on the ingredients. I had a tinge feeling of being useless when all I could do was watch her and slightly blush any time she would look me in my eyes and smile.
