pages 38 - 42


She conceived 856 offspring within wedlock.
Her puffed sleeves grew bigger than ever and she still could not take her dress off. She was advised to trim her hair for the births but it grew back immediately. Like one of those dolls.


Dustmites in the sheets! Sponges not sterilized!
Four children were not placed on the control crying regime!
Not looking after yourself!
Letting yourself go !

Alice remembered the cup who refused to have tea poured into it. Stains!
The cup and matching pot sat on a shelf together for years very still.
