Excerpt from Memory Corner
So the little ladies went down the street with the child between them, leaving the Major standing star ing after them. It took the Major quite a long time to get over this thing, and to resume his walk; new happenings were rare in Little Place, Hampstead.
The progress of the child between Miss Dorcas and Miss Betsy was marked by a certain large degree of ceremony. There was a crossing-sweeper who was in the habit of receiving a daily dole; and this time that dole had to be extracted from the purse of Miss Dorcas; a glance had to be exchanged over the head of the child between Miss Dorcas and Miss Betsy, and returned with a meaning look, as though Miss Dorcas said - I think you're right; she should learn these things early; and finally the money was given by the child to the crossing-sweeper.
