Eric Flashcards
Describes him
“In his early twenties, not quite at ease, half shy, half assertive”
Wants to back other peoples opinions
“Why shouldn’t they try for higher wages? We try for the highest
possible prices”
Helping out
“it isn’t as if you can go and work somewhere else.”
Sounding like he doesn’t care
“He could have kept her on instead of throwing her out. I call it tough luck.”
Feeling bad
“I’d have let her stay”
2 faced
“Well I was in that state when a chap easily turns nasty- and I
threatened to make a row”
Feeling bad
“And that’s when it happened. And I don’t even remember- that’s the hellish thing.”
Shows to be using her
“I wasn’t in love with her or anything- but I liked her- she was pretty and a good sport-”
Does what he wants
“she didn’t want me to marry her. Said I didn’t love her- and all that. In a way, she treated me- as if I were a kid. Though I was nearly as old as she was.”
