A Girl And A Boy Lay In A Cubby-Hole In The North Side Of The Cliff Overlooking Port Gorey, And Watched The Goings-On Down Below. The Sun Was Tending Towards Guernsey And The Gulf Was Filled Witn Golden Light. A Small Brig, Unkempt And Dirty, Was Nosing Towards The Rough Wooden Landing-Stage Clamped To The Opposite Rocks, As Though Doubtful Of The Advisability Of Attempting Its Closer Acquaintance. "Mon Gyu, Bern, How I Wish They Were All At The Bottom Of The Sea!" Said The Girl Vehemently. "Whe--E--E--W!" Whistled The Boy, And Then With A Twinkle In His Eye,--"Who's Got A New Parasol Now?" "Everybody!--But It's Not That. It's The Bustle--And The Dirt--And The Noise--And Oh--Everything! You Can't Remember What It Was Like Before These Wretched Mines Came--No Dust, No Noise, No Bustle, No Dirty Men, No Silly Women, No Nothing As It Is Now. [more]

The Baby Was Coming. Each Morning She Was Nauseated, Chilly, Bedraggled, And Certain That She Would Never Again Be Attractive; Each Twilight She Was Afraid. She Did Not Feel Exalted, But Unkempt And Furious. The Period Of Daily Sickness Crawled Into An Endless Time Of Boredom. It Became Difficult For Her To Move About, And She Raged That She, Who Had Been Slim And Light-Footed, Should Have To Lean On A Stick, And Be Heartily Commented Upon By Street Gossips. She Was Encircled By Greasy Eyes. Every Matron Hinted, "Now That You'Re Going To Be A Mother, Dearie, You'Ll Get Over All These Ideas Of Yours And Settle Down." She Felt That Willy-Nilly She Was Being Initiated Into The Assembly Of Housekeepers; With The Baby For Hostage, She Would Never Escape; Presently She Would Be Drinking Coffee And Rocking And Talking About Diapers.

A Misty Evening In Mid-October; A Top Room In One Of The Small Dingy Houses On The North Side Of Moon Street, Its Floor Partially Covered With Pieces Of Drugget Carpet Trodden Into Rags; For Furniture, An Iron Bed Placed Against The Wall, A Deal Cupboard Or Wardrobe, A Broken Iron Cot In A Corner, A Wooden Box And Three Or Four Chairs, And A Small Square Deal Table; On The Table One Candle In A Tin Candlestick Gave Light To The Two Occupants Of The Room. One Of These A Woman Sitting In A Listless Attitude Before The Grate, Fireless Now, Although The Evening Was Damp And Chilly. She Appeared Strong, But Just Now Was Almost Repulsive To Look At As She Sat There In Her Dirty Ill-Fitting Gown, With Her Feet Thrust Out Before Her, Showing Her Broken Muddy Boots. Her Features Were Regular, Even Handsome; That, However, Was Little In Her Favour When Set Against The Hard Red Colour Of Her Skin, Which Told Of Habitual Intemperance, And The Expression, Half Sullen And Half Reckless, Of Her Dark Eyes, As She Sat There Staring Into The Empty Grate. There Were No White Threads Yet In Her Thick Long Hair That Had Once Been Black And Glossy, Unkempt Now, Like Everything About Her, With A Dusky Dead Look In It. [more]
