The Girl In The Steel Corset Ebook Rar

I remember, when I was at school in 1902, walking at the back of ourSunday crocodile, and seeing all the girls in front of me, very smartand Sundayfied, going down the hill to church. And I thought (I amafraid, with a touch of superiority): 'How frightful they all look, andwhat a lot of trouble they have taken to make themselves still morefrightful. I am sure I look every bit as hideous, but at any rate Ihaven't taken any trouble about it at all.' I thought them much 'theworse for dress', as Uncle Lenny once said of an over-dressed lady ofhis acquaintance. The thought comes back to me perfectly clear, everytime I get a whiff of something which reminds me of the empty, damp,suburban, Sunday-morning smell of Wimbledon Common; and then I see againtheir beribboned top-heavy hats, stuck on to the top of the hair theyhad spent so long in frizzling and puffing out; and their tightlycorseted, bell-shaped figures wobbling down the hill, as they chatteredtheir way to church.
