Your mother worked at the laundry?
From when she was 14.
She'd strapped me on her back or under the copper vats if I'd sleep.
All the women did it who had babies then.
Your employer allowed that?
- He'd have you back as soon as you could. - He?
Mr. Taylor.
And does your mother still work at the laundry?
She died when I was four.
I see.
Vat tipped. Scalded her.
What of your father?
