The death of her husband on 6 November 1884 made Millicent temporarily withdraw from public life.
She sold both family homes and moved with Philippa into the house of Agnes Garrett, her sister.
She resumed work in 1885.
Millicent began to concentrate on politics.
Originally an active Liberal, she joined the Liberal Unionist party in 1886 in opposition to Irish Home Rule.
In 1904 she resigned from the party on the issue of Free Trade when Joseph Chamberlain gained control in his campaign for Tariff Reform.
