She said it was the likes of her , millions of her , that did stand behind Lloyd George , and did hearten him up . That was the key-note of her speech . Dear old Susan ! She is a perfect dynamo of patriotism and loyalty and contempt for slackers of all kinds , and when she let it loose on that audience in her one grand outburst she electrified it . Susan always vows she is no suffragette , but she gave womanhood its due that night , and she literally made those men cringe . When she finished with them they were ready to eat out of her hand . She wound up by ordering them -- yes , ordering them -- to march up to the platform forthwith and subscribe for Victory Bonds . And after wild applause most of them did it , even Warren Mead . When the total amount subscribed came out in the Charlottetown dailies the next day we found that the Glen led every district on the Island -- and certainly Susan has the credit for it . She , herself , after she came home that night was quite ashamed and evidently feared that she had been guilty of unbecoming conduct : she confessed to mother that she had been ` rather unladylike . ' `` We were all -- except Susan -- out for a trial ride in father 's new automobile tonight . A very good one we had , too , though we did get ingloriously ditched at the end , owing to a certain grim old dame -- to wit , Miss Elizabeth Carr of the Upper Glen -- who would n't rein her horse out to let us pass , honk as we might . Father was quite furious ; but in my heart I believe I sympathized with Miss Elizabeth . If I had been a spinster lady , driving along behind my own old nag , in maiden meditation fancy free , I would n't have lifted a rein when an obstreperous car hooted blatantly behind me . I should just have sat up as dourly as she did and said ` Take the ditch if you are determined to pass . ' `` We did take the ditch -- and got up to our axles in sand -- and sat foolishly there while Miss Elizabeth clucked up her horse and rattled victoriously away . `` Jem will have a laugh when I write him this . He knows Miss Elizabeth of old . `` But -- will -- Venice -- be -- saved ? '' 19th November 1917 `` It is not saved yet -- it is still in great danger .
