Sheila Flashcards
About sheila’s description
“A pretty girl in her early twenties, very pleased with life and rather
excited”
Immature
“Yes, go on, Mummy”
Doesn’t want to know about the girl
“(rather distressed) I can’t help thinking about this girl- destroying
herself so horribly- and I’ve been so happy tonight. Oh I wish you
hadn’t told me.”
Not all about the money
“But these girls aren’t cheap labour- they’re people.”
“She was a very pretty girl…that didn’t make it any better.”
Childish and rude
“I went to the manager and told him this girl had been very
impertinent – and – and -
Regreting wat she didn
“And if I could help her now, I would-”
Taking all the blame and showing sum responsibility
“I’ll never, never do it again to anybody…I feel now I can never go
there again”
Guesses the inspector is different
“Why- you fool- he knows. Of course he knows. And I hate to think
how much he knows that we don’t know yet. You’ll see. You’ll see.”
Showing maturity
“You mustn’t try to build up a kind of wall between us and that girl. If
you do the Inspector will just break it down. And it’ll be all the worse
when he does”
Fallen into inspectors trap
“No, he’s giving us the rope- so that we’ll hang ourselves”
Sarcastic much
Bitterly ”I suppose we’re all nice people now”
He found out everything
“He inspected us all right.”
There not changing at all
“It frightens me the way you talk”
