From the Book - First American edition.
"A sort of silence and embarrassment"
Centralising the egg yolks
The desire for perfection
"Some poor girl's got to go up and down, up and down
"Silent, obsequious and omnipresent"
"Don't think your life will be any different to mine"
"It was exploitation but it worked"
"Tall, strong, healthy and keen to work"
Outer show and inner life
A vast machine that has forgotten how to stop working
Bachelor establishments are notoriously comfortable
The question of the inner life
"Do they really drink out of their saucers?'
"The change : it must have been terrible for them"
The shape of things to come
"We don't want them days again'
"We've moved to the front"
"I'd never done what i liked
"We like it because the past is not so worrying as the news"
