After tea, I went outside. In the hour or so before it got dark I wandered about the streets nearest the Allendene. The houses in Berea had obviously been built in better times and although they were dilapidated now, I still thought they looked very grand. The large wooden bungalows had elegant verandas at the front and their gardens were full of exotic trees and shrubs. All along the roadside were heaps of blossom, little mauve trumpet-shaped flowers, that had fallen from the trees.

In Hulme, people always sat indoors in the evenings, doing their sewing or listening to the wireless; but here it was different. I walked past the houses, enjoying watching groups of people sitting on the verandas or on low walls, laughing and talking with each other. Some of them had brought their radios outside and they chattered away over the sound of the dance music, drinking Coca-Cola from the bottle. I noticed there wasn’t a black person among them.
