Mrs. said some things in disparagement of Maria Chapman, accompanied with the wise remark that women were not capable of understanding political questions.
My friend Mrs.--, wishing Miss M. to take up the cudgel in defence of the rights of women, put her mouth to her ear-trumpet, and said, Ask Mrs. To repeat her remark to you!
