Mrs Green said, “You will come and live with us, part of the family,” he was a doctor. She said, “Can you answer the phone?”
I said, “Yes, I speak English more or less.”
“You answer the phone for the doctor and you help me to dust a little, I have got a cleaning lady and I have got a washer woman.”
It sounds wonderful, yeah, life of Reilly. I wasn’t there for more than three weeks when she sacked the washer woman, and she said, “I don’t know why you can’t do the washing.” And then she sacked the char woman, and I worked there very hard for a pound a week, and until I put my foot down. She had a daughter who had had a baby, and she said to me I should wash the baby’s nappies and I said, “Sorry,” I said to her,”If your daughter would to live with my mother, she wouldn’t ask her to wash the nappies.” I said, “I am not going to do the nappies.”
