The climax comes when she sees her cook and maid leading a suffragette parade, coming to her house to notify her she has been elected president of their club. She begs her husband to help her out of the mess and take her away. Mr. Wimble sends a note to the women telling them that Murphy will take his wife's place, and leaves with her and the baby through the back door, while the women are storming the front of the house.
