Monica Dickens Quote: “Doris was getting No. 4 ready for a new guest. The floor did not trouble her much, but she spent quite a long time on the taps and the veneered top of the dressing-table. Dusting and polishing she liked – things that showed – but those bits of fluff and dried mud at the bottom of the wardrobe she just pushed back into a corner.
