It was at the next bingo session that Gladys Lilly told Nelly about the job which Doreen had accepted after a good deal of thought, and some prodding from her mother.

'Well now,' said Nelly, 'she's a brave girl, and I only hope she knows what she's let herself in for. You tell her to pop round to the kitchen at The Fuchsia Bush before she takes up the job on Monday. I can give her a few tips about them old ladies, and the best way to manage 'em. And if she wants my advice, tell her to make sure she never agrees to do the cooking.'

'I'll tell her to look in,' promised Mrs Lilly. 'And she asked me to thank you for finding her the place.'

'Time enough to thank me,' said Nelly darkly, 'when she's had a couple of weeks with them stairs, and that half a ton of silver as needs cleaning once a fortnight. She won't be idle, I can tell you!'

'Hard work,' said Doreen's mother virtuously, 'never hurt no one!'
