Quotations
To her it seemed indecent that a pregnant woman of her standing (Government Service) should have to board the steamer without a husband to go with her and dispute about her accommodation and whisper anxiously to the doctor and stewardess—almost as indecent as a Government Service woman's having her baby in the hospital in Port Zodiac with the wives of workingmen and Greeks.
