“Careful,” Marion said through her teeth. “Me mother said that she could hear a five-pound note dropping at five hundred paces.” And the two girls howled with laughter again and now had to hide behind the stall. As they crouched there, Marion became a little more serious. “Agnes, stalls here are handed down from mother to daughter. We just don’t get new people in here. You mightn’t think it, but it’s a great honor to be asked, if she really is asking, that is.”

Whether Nellie Nugent’s offer of a job was genuine or not, Agnes didn’t have time to think about it. For the very next day she was offered her first position. Agnes had called into Walker’s Rainwear Limited, a huge sewing factory that employs nearly five hundred girls. Lo and behold, within thirty minutes of filling out her name and address on an application form, she was hired, and began work the next day, making buttonholes.
