Down Among the Women
“Is there no one nice, ordinary, and pleasant? Yes. There’s Jocelyn, Helen, Audrey, Sylvia, Wanda, Scarlet and kind, kind Byzantia. Millie, Lettice, Lottie. It depends only on which of their words one chooses to listen to, which of their actions to overlook. And Susan, Scarlet’s father’s new wife, is nicest of all, slender of waist, and thick of mind, thick as the trunk of a kauri tree in the New Zealand forests whence she comes, and of which she is so fond, almost as fond as she is of Kim, Scar...let’s mother Wanda’s first husband and Scarlet’s daughter Byzantia’s grandfather.
Down here among the women we like to describe people by their relationship with others. It makes us feel more secure, or as if someone might notice when we die. So Sylvia says.
It is a momentous Sunday afternoon for everyone. What configuration of the stars is this?
Sylvia has gone to the pictures to see La Ronde. She sits in the ninepennies, near the front, for she is short-sighted, and a little deaf in one ear.MoreLess
