Explore "The Well of Loneliness" by Radclyffe Hall on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
That autumn the Crossbys went up to Scotland, and Stephen went to Cornwall with her mother. Anna was not well, she needed a change, and the doctor had told them of Watergate Bay, that was why they had gone to Cornwall. To Stephen it mattered very little where she went, since she was not allowed to join Angela in Scotland. Angela had put her foot down quite firmly: "No, my dear, it wouldn't do. I know Ralph would make hell. I can't let you follow us up to Scotland. " So that there, perforce, the matter had ended.
And now Stephen could sit and gloom over her trouble while Anna read placidly, asking no questions. She seldom worried her daughter with questions, seldom even evinced any interest in her letters.
