Corinne’s parents disapprove of Stewart’s troublemaking, since “a reformer usually has a disturbed personality!” However, Stewart and Corinne find an old newspaper article which proves Corinne’s parents were also “reformers” in their day: her mother was arrested as a suffragette and her father was arrested trying to help her.
