The Flesh Tailor
“They say you can get used to anything, don’t they? Even being in prison so I’ve heard. I had to do a lot of cleaning and polishing and Mrs Jannings didn’t allow me out to play till I’d finished. Even though she seemed better she still stayed in her room a lot. I don’t suppose they knew much about depression and that sort of thing in those days but I think that’s what she had.
She never smiled or laughed and I tried to keep out of her way.
Tailors Court wasn’t a proper farm because it di...dn’t have enough land but now there was a war on they kept a few pigs and a couple of cows and what land they had was ploughed up and planted with crops. We had to dig for victory after all. Mary worked on the farm next door but her and the other land girls looked after the land and the animals at Tailors Court too.
I liked Mary. She showed me lots of things. How to put rollers in my hair, how to put gravy browning on your legs so it looked as though you had stockings on and how to draw a line up the back of your leg with an eyebrow pencil to make it look like a seam.MoreLess
