A mill owner in Yorkshire brings in machines that put his cloth-dressers out of work, and they come at night to smash them. Two women watch with nothing of their own to do; one marries the mill owner, the other his brother.

Men, I believe, fancy women's minds something like those of children. Now, that is a mistake.
Shirley, Charlotte Brontë
