    Sally had been knocked over by a strong wind at her job at an ammunition factory and thought she was dead. She is surprised to be alive and visiting with Mrs. Bowman and her family. They discuss the recent deaths of Peg Watson and Marge Andrews at the factory. Sally tells Mrs. Bowman she does not want to return to the dangerous job at the factory, but Mrs. Bowman argues they need the money from her wages. They begin squabbling loudly about Sally's decision as Mr. Doran leaves to visit neighbors, who can still hear the mother and daughter arguing from next door. In the end, Sally does return to her job at the factory where she is given a pay raise.

    Extract 2

    They gave her a rise


    I can’t believe my eyes, Mr. Bowman said, I thought you was dead.
    Well, I’m not dead, Sally said.
    I thought you was.
    I thought I was too. There’s Peg Watson, she’s dead.
    And Marge Andrews, she’s dead too.
    Poor Mrs. Andrews, Mrs. Bowman said.
    Then Mrs. Bowman roused on to me* for putting too much sugar in her tea.
    I thought I'd never taste tea again, Sally said, not when I was knocked over I didn't.
    Have another cup? I said.
    Mr. Doran, Mrs. Bowman said, however much tea did you put in the teapot?
    I made it strong, I said. I thought you'd like it strong.
    Anyone would think we was millionaires, Mrs. Bowman said.
    Sally said she wasn't ever going back to work in the ammunition factory again.
    Why not? Mrs. Bowman asked. You could see she was feeling a lot better and she spoke quite sharp.
    Well I'm not. You never got knocked over by that wind.
    I've had things to put up with in my life. Yes, I have.
    I know you have, mum. But you never got knocked over by a wind like that.
    You can't avoid accidents.
    I know you can't. But what about Peg and Marge?
    Isn't it a shame? Poor Mrs. Andrews. Marge was getting more money than you, wasn't she?
    Anyhow I'm not going back. So there.
    Oh, indeed, young lady, Mrs. Bowman said. So that's the way you're going to talk. Not going back! Will you
    tell me where our money's coming from if you're not? Huh! You'd sooner see your mother scrubbing floors,
    wouldn't you?
    Listen mum, Sally said. Listen ...
    Well, I left them to it. I went over next door to talk to the people, and you could hear Sally and her mother
    squabbling from there.
    Of course Sally wasn't off for long. And they gave her a rise
