top of the chute and seeing the water far

about you coming back in an awful state

practically helpless. I could kick him but

only laugh because he teases me more if

I retaliate.


Do you remember Annie Ellis from Scarcroft

Road. She is a widow but hasn't half come

out. Dressed in Taffeta - that very stiff silk

that almost stands by itself - it's all in

flounce. I think she must looking for

no: 2.   A good many of them are on that

game. Norah says it is a shame. - they ought
