- The Romance
E1The RomanceMargaret proposes that the group goes on hunger strike to support their imprisoned sisters in London, but is hampered by thoughts of buns and Gwen buying up all the stock when the local cheese shop closes down. The women encourage Thomas to propose to his adored Emily, whose mother Helen has arranged a marriage of convenience to wealthy Bertie Smuth. Thomas composes a love letter which, for all the wrong reasons, works to his advantage. - Strike
E2StrikeDelivering an earnest speech dedicated to novelist Elizabeth Gaskell, Margaret hopes to recruit more women to her suffrage group, but her audience prefers to imbibe Dr Hamm's Invigorator (which contains cocaine) and this, along with Emily's revolt against capitalist mother Helen, tends to dominate the evening. More importantly, they take precedence over Helen's intended dinner party for the great and the good and Gwen ends up having her say.
