Description

Excerpt from The Stiff Lip: A Novel Ow! Mrs. Booker, you do go on, said Hilda, with short arms extended about the circular target, giggling at her superior's wit. Booker said nothing, but watched Hilda, who made vain efforts to hang it on a nail in the middle of the oak door. It was fascinating to watch the red-haired maid totter on her square toes and strive to hitch the cord on a nail too high for her, or take awkward little jumps, and, limp as a sack, fall back with one heel against the box of darts. This seemed part of the contemptible proceedings of the day. Booker was led to comment: What'll they be up to next? You might think they were a lot of kids, the way they go on. Fact is, as soon as they get away from cards, they don't know what to do with themselves. That's the worst of the upper classes, Hilda; they don't know what to do with themselves.
