by Maggie Ford
‘No, Mum,’ she called back. ‘I’m getting meself a sandwich. I’m going out again in a little while.’
In fact she was seeing Eileen Moss, who she worked with. They were going to see the films her parents had seen this afternoon. They’d sit eating peanuts as fast as they could shell them and stare at the silent drama of Gloria Swanson’s Male and Female and laugh at Charlie Chaplin’s slapstick comedy, Sunnyside, both of which Mum had said were very good.
Though it was nice going to the pictures, she’d have rather stayed at home this evening to start on her dress, itching to see how it would turn out, but she’d promised to go with Eileen, and anyway, there were too many at home tonight no doubt wanting to know what she was doing, what she was making, and what for.
