The women are excited when Margaret gets a reply to her letter to suffragette leader Mrs Pankhurst, announcing that she plans to visit the group with a view to their affiliation with the Women's Social and political Union. Only Helen, who went to school with Mrs Pankhurst and dislikes her, is unimpressed. Mrs Pankhurst duly arrives in a huge hat, and referring to herself in the third person. Though unmoved by the song and tableau the group the women perform for her she believes that they should be allied because she admired their vandalism of the statue of Venus in the library. Unfortunately Margaret owns up that this was the work of their rival group and the affiliation is withdrawn.
