There were women in the sacred dance group, no doubt, and one of these might be taken aside, woman to woman, and asked to help see that he came to no harm. England was full of helpful women, Berthea was convinced: there were legions of them, all anxious to help in some way and many of them feeling quite frustrated that there were not quite enough men-for demographic reasons-in need of their help.
In the sacred dance group, women played a significant role, and among them, one could be discreetly approached to ensure that a man stayed safe. Berthea believed that England was filled with supportive women, eager to lend a hand. This sense of community fostered a belief that many women felt a strong desire to assist, especially given the demographic imbalance that left some without the opportunity to help men in need.
The narrative highlights the innate kindness of women in society, illustrating their willingness to take action for the well-being of others. Berthea’s conviction reflects a broader sentiment that, despite challenges, these women continued to seek ways to contribute positively to their surroundings, acting as a source of comfort and protection.
