Storrs was conscious of a burden placed upon her that was not placed upon male clergy. When she felf dispirited because of complaints about 'this objectionable quality of Englishness' levelled against her, she sight, 'The funny thing is that although Brother Wolfe [the rector, George Wolfendale] is just as English as we are, it doesn't go against him so much.
