Why mayn’t they do what men do?′ the Hero cried impetuously. ‘I hate that contemptible narrow-mindedness. It’s that that makes the ruin and horrors I see. Why mayn’t they do what men do? I like the women who are brave enough not to be hypocrites. By Heaven! if these women are bad, I like them better than a set of hypocritical creatures who are all show, and deceive you in the end.
