The scene is the general waiting room of a railway station at ten o’clock on a winter’s night. ‘The Woman’ is a person who earns her daily bread by taking in washing. She wanders into the room in a disconsolate manner carrying a large bag of shopping, and has under her arm a bundle of dirty linen. ‘The Swell’ enters. He is a retired military man and one of the old ‘die-hard’ types.
