All three confessed that they had never done any road racing before. Miss Davy said:-

The youngest competitor, Miss "Pat" Brunton, aged 16, skated the whole distance, notwithsanding the fact that she had a bad attack of cramp at Handerosa, 30 miles. from London. Her time was 7hr. 7min.
The girls looked surprisingly fresh when they arrived in Brigh ton. iss Davy was seized by the crowd and carried shoulder-high along the front.
The worst part of it is that, often as not the father knows nothing about it. The threat, from mother's point of view, is effective, and it is not necessary for her to call upon father to carry out the punishment.

The Mother's Fault
It is mother's fault undoubtedly, but it is not intentional. That is, perhaps, the best and worst part of it. The best, because it means that at heart she is a good mother try ing to do all she can for her children; the worst, because she does not realise the harm she is de ing and so cannot rid herself of the fault. It is her conception of discipline and her reasoned method of enforcing is. Her argument is,
