"I wouldn't—not if I hadn't got to. I wouldn't marry anybody for a bit."

"Oh, I do think it's a shame. A pretty girl like you, Edie. Men! Can he keep you?—comfortable and all that?"
"He's got enough, and he expects to make a bit more soon, and then there's my dressmaking."
"Men!" declared Jenny. "No men for me. I wouldn't trust any man."
"Don't say nothing to mother about it."
The two sisters went downstairs.
