- Ted: Kids is proper little savages - even the best of them. I don't think anything bothers them much, at least till they got kids of their own to look after.
- Mrs. Stokes: Poor Mrs Williams. They can't do nothing with her. They've just found her Ronnie with his back broke.
- Em: Dear God! How ever did it happen?
- Mrs. Stokes: In a bombed house in Kendal Street. He must have been playing there and fallen. Dead of course. Poor little soul. It's a scandal, Emily, that's what I say. These places ought to be boarded up. Time and again I've told my lot to keep out of them. I shan't ever feel like letting the kids play in the street again.
