NOTES
"Consequences" (1919) follows the life of Alexandra Clare, an upper class Catholic girl from London, after she turns down her only suitor. Alex is a misfit and having failed to meet her family's expectations, she joins a convent. Partly autobiographical, Delafield writes this story in a deeply ironic tone, turning Alex's plight into a condemnation of the suffocating expectations Victorian society had for women
