Chapter 13

September 15

Alice Jackson was in her home, sitting around and doing nothing in particular. It was Sunday and she had very little to look forward to. Her life seemed miserable. She had lost her job, and money, she knew, wouldn’t last forever. She was at a loose end.

Alice had come from a large, rather poor family, with four siblings. As a child, she had witnessed the struggle for existence. Whenever he was flush with money, her father would come home drunk and start singing loudly and then later fall in bed asleep with his clothes on. Her father was in and out of jobs because of the drinking. He was always fired, sometimes for reporting to work in a state of drunkenness, quarrelling loudly with his fellow workers, or for simply neglecting his duty. From early childhood, Alice had carried the image of her mother as a harassed woman who always seemed to be at her wit’s end and who was always mad with worry.

She was a rather frail, delicate woman with fine bones who belonged to a decent and honest family. She had fallen in love with Alice’s father because of his rugged handsomeness.

She eloped with James and left with only a few belongings, and they tied the knot at the registrar’s office. Pauline had told Alice that she was happy in the first few months of their marriage. James was then working in a garment factory, the couple was very much in love, and James came home religiously every evening.

They would sit together in the living room while Pauline would pour out the tea in a new porcelain tea set she had bought. They lived in a small two-roomed apartment, but Pauline was happy enough. She was busy setting up her own house, attending to James, and making love to him. During those days, James often took her out to dinner.

Soon, Pauline was heavy with child, and she was thrilled at the prospect of becoming a mother. James continued to be attentive and caring, but at times Pauline was worried about money; they seemed to have very little. Her first child, little Robbie, was born and Pauline became immersed in her new duties of caring and tending to her baby. She had never been happier in her life. She was so engrossed in her life as a
