"At Baker Street Station they parted; Phyllis disappearing to the underground railway; Gertrude mounting boldly to the top of an Atlas omnibus. 'Because one cannot afford a carriage or even a hansom cab,' she argued to herself, 'is one to be shut up away from the sunlight and the streets?'" (pg. 61)
"Fanny had accepted the situation with astonishing calmness. Prudish to the verge of insanity with regard to herself, she had grown to look upon her strong-minded sisters as creatures emancipated from the ordinary conventions of their sex, as far removed from the advantages and disadvantages of gallantry as the withered hag who swept the crossing near Baker Street Station." (pg. 101)
