he　was　like　a　young　filly　that　has　been　broken　in　to

the　shafts；　and　has　lost　its　freedom。　And　now　she　was　suffering

bitterly　from　the　agony　of　the　shafts。　The　agony；　the　galling；

the　ignominy　of　her　breaking　in。　This　wore　into　her　soul。　But

she　would　never　submit。　To　shafts　like　these　she　would　never

submit　for　long。　But　she　would　know　them。　She　would　serve　them

that　she　might　destroy　them。

She　and　Maggie　went　to　all　kinds　of　places　together；　to　big

exhibitions　of　pictures。　Ursula　saved　her　money　and　bought　a

woman；　and　lead　a　movement。　Who　knows？……At　any　rate　she

would　go　to　college　in　eighteen　months'　time。　All　that　mattered

now　was　work；　work。

And　till　college；　she　must　go　on　with　this　teaching　in　St。

Philip's　School；　which　was　always　destroying　her；　but　which　she
