ABSTRACT
Back at Newport Street in first years there, in the second half of the Twenties, Winnie seemed to be writing home much of the time. Winnie’s story has taken into the Sixties, more than a quarter of a century after the Newport Street household had broken up. When the tenancy finally came to an end, Grandma was dead, Annie married with a largish family of step-children, and Walter married with a son. The sister, Dr Jessie, a very gentle woman, took a special interest in Molly. That aunt at one remove who had had the kindness to take her in was not a clever woman. They were as a family respectable but very narrow and, it was felt in Newport Street, slightly us in that not one of them was in a white-collar or supervisory job as some of ours were.
