Oh – just before you came – I’d been giving these young men a little good advice. Now – about this girl, Eva Smith. I remember her quite well now. She was a lively good-looking girl – country-bred, I fancy – and she’d been working in one of our machine shops for over a year. A good worker too. In fact, the foreman there told me he was ready to promote her into what we call a leading operator – head of a small group of girls. But after they came back from their holidays that August, they were all rather restless, and they suddenly decided to ask for more money. They were averaging about twenty – two and six, which was neither more nor less than is paid generally in our industry. They wanted the rates raised so that they could average about twenty-five shillings a week. I refused, of course. Resource for students – to be used for notes and put into the revision folders.

Consider his age and social class, and Priestley’s intentions/message to contemporary readers 2/3 – Comment on each character using textual evidence 4/5 – Explain inferences made 6/7 – Examine the effects used by Priestley 8/9 – Analyse the impressions made on the reader
