10、ts of heavy summer rain. Cab whistles blowing frantically in all directions. Pedestrians running for shelter into the market and under the portico of St. Pauls Church, where there are already several people, among them a lady and her daughter in evening dress. They are all peering out gloomily at th
11、e rain, except one man with his back turned to the rest, who seems wholly preoccupied with a notebook in which he is writing busily.The church clock strikes the first quarter.THE DAUGHTERin the space between the central pillars, close to the one on her left Im getting chilled to the bone. What can F
12、reddy be doing all this time? Hes been gone twenty minutes.THE MOTHEROn her daughters right Not so long. But he ought to have got us a cab by this.A BYSTANDERon the ladys right He wont get no cab not until half-past eleven, missus, when they come back after dropping their theatre fares.THE MOTHERBut
13、 we must have a cab. We cant stand here until half-past eleven. Its too bad.THE BYSTANDERWell, it aint my fault, missus.THE DAUGHTERIf Freddy had a bit of gumption, he would have got one at the theatre door.THE MOTHERWhat could he have done, poor boy?THE DAUGHTEROther people got cabs. Why couldnt he
14、?Freddy rushes in out of the rain from the Southampton Street side, and comes between them closing a dripping umbrella. He is a young man of twenty, in evening dress, very wet around the ankles.THE DAUGHTERWell, havnt you got a cab?FREDDYTheres not one to be had for love or money.THE MOTHEROh, Fredd
15、y, there must be one. You cant have tried.THE DAUGHTERIts too tiresome. Do you expect us to go and get one ourselves?FREDDYI tell you theyre all engaged. The rain was so sudden: nobody was prepared; and everybody had to take a cab. Ive been to Charing Cross one way and nearly to Ludgate Circus the o
16、ther; and they were all engaged.THE MOTHERDid you try Trafalgar Square?FREDDYThere wasnt one at Trafalgar Square.THE DAUGHTERDid you try?FREDDYI tried as far as Charing Cross Station. Did you expect me to walk to Hammersmith?THE DAUGHTERYou havnt tried at all.THE MOTHERYou really are very helpless,
17、Freddy. Go again; and dont come back until you have found a cab.FREDDYI shall simply get soaked for nothing.THE DAUGHTERAnd what about us? Are we to stay here all night in this draught, with next to nothing on. You selfish pig-FREDDYOh, very well: Ill go, Ill go. He opens his umbrella and dashes off
18、 Strandwards, but comes into collision with a flower girl, who is hurrying in for shelter, knocking her basket out of her hands. A blinding flash of lightning, followed instantly by a rattling peal of thunder, orchestrates the incident.THE FLOWER GIRLNah then, Freddy: look wh y gowin, deah.FREDDYSor
19、ry he rushes off.THE FLOWER GIRLpicking up her scattered flowers and replacing them in the basket Theres menners f yer! Te-oo banches o voylets trod into the mad. She sits down on the plinth of the column, sorting her flowers, on the ladys right. She is not at all an attractive person. She is perhap
20、s eighteen, perhaps twenty, hardly older. She wears a little sailor hat of black straw that has long been exposed to the dust and soot of London and has seldom if ever been brushed. Her hair needs washing rather badly: its mousy color can hardly be natural. She wears a shoddy black coat that reaches
21、 nearly to her knees and is shaped to her waist. She has a brown skirt with a coarse apron. Her boots are much the worse for wear. She is no doubt as clean as she can afford to be; but compared to the ladies she is very dirty. Her features are no worse than theirs; but their condition leaves somethi
22、ng to be desired; and she needs the services of a dentist.THE MOTHERHow do you know that my sons name is Freddy, pray?THE FLOWER GIRLOw, eez ye-ooa san, is e?

23、 Here, with apologies, this desperate attempt to represent her dialect without a phonetic alphabet must be abandoned as unintelligible outside London.THE DAUGHTERDo nothing of the sort, mother. The idea!THE MOTHERPlease allow me, Clara. Have you any pennies?THE DAUGHTERNo. Ive nothing smaller than s
24、ixpence.THE FLOWER GIRLhopefully I can give you change for a tanner, kind lady.THE MOTHERto Clara Give it to me. Clara parts reluctantly.

You can keep the change.THE FLOWER GIRLOh, thank you, lady.THE MOTHERNow tell me how you know that young gentlemans name.THE FLOWER GIRLI didnt.THE MOTHERI heard you call him by it. Dont try to deceive me.THE FLOWER GIRLprotesting Whos trying to deceiv
26、e you? I called him Freddy or Charlie same as you might yourself if you was talking to a stranger and wished to be pleasant. She sits down beside her basket.THE DAUGHTERSixpence thrown away! Really, mamma, you might have spared Freddy that. She retreats in disgust behind the pillar.An elderly gentle
27、man of the amiable military type rushes into shelter, and closes a dripping umbrella. He is in the same plight as Freddy, very wet about the ankles. He is in evening dress, with a light overcoat. He takes the place left vacant by the daughters retirement.THE GENTLEMANPhew!THE MOTHERto the gentleman
28、Oh, sir, is there any sign of its stopping?THE GENTLEMANIm afraid not. It started worse than ever about two minutes ago. He goes to the plinth beside the flower girl; puts up his foot on it; and stoops to turn down his trouser ends.THE MOTHEROh, dear! She retires sadly and joins her daughter.THE FLO
29、WER GIRLtaking advantage of the military gentlemans proximity to establish friendly relations with him. If its worse its a sign its nearly over. So cheer up, Captain; and buy a flower off a poor girl.THE GENTLEMANIm sorry, I havnt any change.THE FLOWER GIRLI can give you change, Captain.THE GENTLEME
30、NFor a sovereign? Ive nothing less.THE FLOWER GIRLGarn! Oh do buy a flower off me, Captain. I can change half-a-crown.

Theres a bloke here behind taking down every blessed word youre saying. All turn to the man who is taking notes.
32、THE FLOWER GIRLspringing up terrified I aint done nothing wrong by speaking to the gentleman. Ive a right to sell flowers if I keep off the kerb. Hysterically Im a respectable girl: so help me, I never spoke to him except to ask him to buy a flower off me. General hubbub, mostly sympathetic to the f
33、lower girl, but deprecating her excessive sensibility. Cries of Dont start hollerin. Whos hurting you? Nobodys going to touch you. Whats the good of fussing? Steady on. Easy, easy, etc., come from the elderly staid spectators, who pat her comfortingly. Less patient ones bid her shut her head, or ask
34、 her roughly what is wrong with her. A remoter group, not knowing what the matter is, crowd in and increase the noise with question and answer: Whats the row? What she do? Where is he? A tec taking her down. What! him? Yes: him over there: Took money off the gentleman, etc. The flower girl, distraug
35、ht and mobbed, breaks through them to the gentleman, crying wildly Oh, sir, dont let him charge me. You dunno what it means to me. Theyll take away my character and drive me on the streets for speaking to gentlemen. They-THE NOTE TAKERcoming forward on her right, the rest crowding after him There, t

A sort of informer.THE FLOWER GIRLstill hysterical I take my Bible oath I never said a word-THE NOTE TAKERoverbearing but good-humored Oh, shut up, shut up. Do I look like a policeman?THE FLOWER GIRLfar from reassured Then
38、 what did you take down my words for? How do I know whether you took me down right? You just shew me what youve wrote about me. The note taker opens his book and holds it steadily under her nose, though the pressure of the mob trying to read it over his shoulders would upset a weaker man. Whats that
39、? That aint proper writing. I cant read that.THE NOTE TAKERI can. Reads, reproducing her pronunciation exactly “Cheer ap, Keptin; n baw ya flahr orf a pore gel.“THE FLOWER GIRLmuch distressed Its because I called him Captain. I meant no harm. To the gentleman Oh, sir, dont let him lay a charge agen
40、me for a word like that. You-THE GENTLEMANCharge! I make no charge. To the note taker Really, sir, if you are a detective, you need not begin protecting me against molestation by young women until I ask you. Anybody could see that the girl meant no harm.THE BYSTANDERS GENERALLYdemonstrating against

What harm if she did? Nice thing a girl cant shelter from the rain without being insulted, etc., etc., etc. She is condu

I tell you, look at his boots.THE NOTE TAKERturning on him genially And how are all your people down at Sels
43、ey?THE BYSTANDERsuspiciously Who told you my people come from Selsey?THE NOTE TAKERNever you mind. They did. To the girl How do you come to be up so far east? You were born in Lisson Grove.THE FLOWER GIRLappalled Oh, what harm is there in my leaving Lisson Grove? It wasnt fit for a pig to live in; a
44、nd I had to pay four-and-six a week. In tears Oh, boo-hoo-oo-THE NOTE TAKERLive where you like; but stop that noise.THE GENTLEMANto the girl Come, come! he cant touch you: you have a right to live where you please.A SARCASTIC BYSTANDERthrusting himself between the note taker and the gentleman Park L
