Présentation de l'éditeur

No. The chemises arent cut out. I havent had time. There are enough shirts to go on with, arent there, Mrs. James? said Betty. We can make do for this afternoon, Miss, but the men they re getting blowed out with shirts. It sthe childrens shifts as we cant make shift without much longer. Mrs. James, habitually doleful, punctuated her speech with sniffs. That sa joke, Mrs. James, said Betty. How clever you are! I try to be whats fitting, said Mrs. James, complacently. Talk of fitting, said Betty, If you like Ill fit on that black bodice for you, Mrs. Symes. If the other ladies dont mind waiting for the reading a little bit. Id as lief talk as read, myself, said a red-faced sandy-haired woman; books aint what they was in my young days. If its the same to you, Miss, said Mrs. Symes in a thick rich voice, Ill not be tried on afore a room full. If we are poor we can all be cleans what I say, and I keeps my unders as I keeps my outside.

Présentation de l'éditeur

"He asked idle questions: she answered them with a conscientious tremulous truthfulness that showed to him as the most finished art. Betty told him nervously and in words ill-chosen everything that he asked to know, but all the while the undercurrent of questions rang strong within her -- 'When is he to teach me? Where? How?' -- so that when at last there was left but the bare fifteen minutes needed to get one home in time for the midday dinner she said abruptly: 'And when shall I see you again?'"
