Excerpt from Eight O'clock, and Other Studies It is the dark part of a morning in February: in a little while the sun will break through the blackness and a grey light will creep through the window of the living-room in a small house in South London, where a Woman, aged beyond her years, which are thirty-three, is kneeling at a chair. Her hands are clenched together, and her eyes are fixed intently on the sky. Her lips move slowly and regularly, and sometimes she cries out, "Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God!" There is no other sound in the room, save the ticking of a clock. There is silence, and The Woman, heating her hands together, cries out again, "Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God!" The door opens, and a Girl, whose age is twenty-two, enters, feeling her way in the dark. The Girl. Are you there, Jenny? The Woman. Oh, God! Oh, God! The Girl. Jenny!
