Our Reporter: What are you?

Fanny (laughing): Wot am I? A gal.

Our Reporter: Do you go to school?

Fanny (with a cunning shake of her head): Ketch me at it!

Our Reporter: What do you do?

Fanny: I sells matches—two boxes a penny—and I falls asleep on purpose in front of the Nacheral Gallery.

Our Reporter: The National Gallery. In Trafalgar Square, where the fountains are?

Fanny: That’s the place—where the little man without legs plays the accorgeon.

Our Reporter: Why do you fall asleep there?

Fanny (with a sad, wistful smile): That’s mother’s little game. She makes me.
