Emma Sprooles is tidying up her house, a tenement flat in Tooley Street, S.E., because her husband, Ted, locally described as a ‘nero’, gets his discharge from hospital that day. Mrs. Hopkins, a neighbour who ‘can’t ‘elp being plump’, comes in bursting with curiosity to find out all she can, and bill Gosling, a former comrade of Ted’s, arrives unexpectedly, for he is home on leave.
