Then as tossing shipmen amid black surges of Ocean, 65
See some prosperous air gently to calm them arise,
Safe thro' Pollux' aid or Castor, alike
entreated
; (65)
Mallius e'en such help brought me, a warder of harm.

Catullus - Ellis - Poems and Fragments |

, who had
spent the night in the streets and came to the library to sleep They came
shambling m behind the others, flopped down with grunts of relief at the
nearest table, and pulled the nearest periodical towards them, it might be the
Free Church Messenger , it might be the Vegetarian Sentmel-it didn’t matter
what it was, but you couldn’t stay m the library unless you pretended to be
reading They opened their papers, and m the same instant fell asleep, with
their chins on their breasts And the attendant walked round prodding them m
turn like a stoker poking a succession of fires, and they grunted and woke up as
he prodded them, and then fell asleep again the instant he had passed
Meanwhile a battle was raging round the advertisement board, everybody
struggling to get to the front Two young men in blue overalls came running
up behmd the others, and one of them put his head down and fought his way
through the crowd as though it had been a football scrum In a moment he was
at the board He turned to his companion £ ’Ere we are, Joe- 1 got it'
“Mechanics wanted-Locke’s Garage, Camden Town ” C’m on out of it 1 ’ He
fought his way out again, and both of them scooted for the door They were
going to Camden Town as fast as their legs would carry them And at this
moment, m every public library in London, mechanics out of work were
reading that
identical
notice and starting on the race for the job, which in all
probability had already been given to someone who could afford to buy a paper
for himself and had seen the notice at six in the morning
Dorothy managed to get to the board at last, and made a note of some of the
addresses where ‘cook generals’ were wanted There were plenty to choose
from-indeed, half the ladies m London seemed to be crying out for strong
capable general servants With a list of twenty addresses m her pocket, and
having had a breakfast of bread and margarine and tea which cost her
threepence, Dorothy set out to look for a job, not unhopefully
She was too ignorant as yet to know that her chances of finding work
unaided were practically ml, but the next four days gradually enlightened her
During those four days she applied for eighteen jobs, and sent written
applications for four others She trudged enormous distances all through the
southern suburbs: Clapham, Brixton, Dulwich, Penge, Sydenham, Becken-
ham, Norwood-even as far as Croydon on one occasion She was haled into
neat suburban drawing-rooms and interviewed by women of every
conceivable type-large, chubby, bullying women, thm, acid, catty women,
alert frigid women m gold pince-nez , vague rambling women who looked as
though they practised vegetarianism or attended spiritualist stances And one
and all, fat or thm, chilly or motherly, they reacted to her m precisely the same
way They simply looked her over, heard her speak, stared inquisitively, asked
her a dozen embarrassing and impertinent questions, and then turned her
down.
