Answers
The sentence is taken from a passage where a stout old lady was walking on a street and says I'm going to walk where i like" we have got liberty now.
The correct passage is -
A stout old lady was walking with her basket down the middle of a street in Petrograd to the great confusion of the traffic and no small peril to herself, It was pointed out to her that the pavement was the place for foot-passengers, but she replied, "I'm going to walk where I like, We've got liberty now", It did not occur to the dear lady that if liberty entitled the foot-passenger to walk down the middle of the road it also entitled the taxi-driver to drive on the pavement, and that the end of such liberty would be universal chaos, Everything would be getting in everybody else's way and nobody would get anywhere, Individual liberty would have become social anarchy.
- The old lady was walking here and there in the busy street, she was told to walk on the pavement but she denied it.
- Thus, the old lady says "I'm going to walk where I like, as she felt that she was entitled to do whatever she wanted and felt like.
- She failed to realise that her liberty was limited and she can not do anything she wishes for.
