Three Women of Liverpool
“The men refused to be relieved.The incident officer did not argue with them. Amongst the motley gangs of workmen there was a stiff pride that they did not stop work until they had themselves carried the victims out.An intact corner of the light well had been reached. The searchers tried listening there, but heard nothing. They did, however, find a woman’s shoe and this gave them new incentive to continue.Robert could hardly stand, but he continued mechanically to pile rubbish into skips and to ...lend a hand where he could. He could not identify the shoe as Emmie’s.Gathered as close as the police would allow was a large crowd of sightseers, clerks in well-pressed business suits, their female counterparts in neat black dresses with white collars and white summer hats, housewives in spring suits, with pretty baskets on their arms, and the male flotsam and jetsam of a port, who, despite two years of war, seemed to have nothing particular to do.
