Lady Clementine

November 15, 1909

Bristol, England

Recuperating after the birth of her first child, Clementine rests in the country, while Winston, now the president of the Board of Trade, remains in London, caring for their new daughter Diana. Upon her return to London, Clementine discovers her mother-in-law has taken over Clementine and Winston’s home. Weeks later, Jennie leaves after her husband George Cornwallis-West beckons her, and Clementine recovers control.

Winston soon leaves for Germany at the Kaiser’s request, and then parliamentary matters consume Winston’s time. Clementine complains about her own time, saddled by domestic responsibilities in addition to supporting Winston’s political ambitions. Having switched from the Conservative to the Liberal Party, Winston pushes forward with social programs in his position on the Board of Trade. Clementine confesses, despite their harmony, that universal suffrage divides them—the suffragettes’ violent tactics disappoint Winston. Clementine nevertheless travels to Bristol to help Winston’s reelection campaign, and a suffragette attacks Winston at the Bristol train station, almost forcing him in front of a train with a whip. Clementine acts quickly, pulling him to safety.
