Lilian Lenton (pictured) recalls how she reckoned on setting alight two buildings a week during her most active period as a suffragette. Her more colourful escapades included evading the police while posing as an errand boy who was reading a comic and munching an apple and later making an escape to France aboard a private yacht.
