blouse quotes

The trouble with women like me isthey can't keep their nerves out of the job in hand† I walk about with a mind full of ghosts of saucepans and primus stoves and 'Will there be enough to go round?' I loathe myself, today. I detest this woman who'superintends' you and rushes about, slamming doors and slopping waterall untidy with her blouse out and her nailsgrimed.
