Abstract	"At a court function afterwards, Mary Blomfield dropped on her knees before the King and crids, 'For God's saje, Your Majesty, put a stop to forcible feeding.!' She was hurried, as the Daily Mirro put it, from 'the Presence,' which, so the public was relieved to learn, had remained serene. Lady Blomfield intimated to the Press her repudiation of what her daughter had done. Lady Blomfield had been enthusiastic for militancy of the most extreme kind, so long as it was committed by other people's daughters. She had come to me at a Kensington WSPU 'At Home' shortly after my release in 1913, expressing her delight that 'Abdu'l-Bahá, of whom she was proud to call herself a follower, had spoken with sympathy of the Suffragettes; he had suffered forty years of imprisonment, she told me ecstatically, for preaching the unity of all religions and the brotherhood of man. Under his teaching she had lost all regard for the pomps and vanities of earthly existence." p. 554
