The Old Lady Shows Her Medals Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Mrs. Dowey is entertaining three other charwomen at tea; they are all proud of their sons in the army (1914 1918).

The curate arrives with Kenneth Dowey of the Black Watch in tow.

But Mrs. Dowey has no son; she only pretends after seeing Kenneth's name in a newspaper.

Since he has no family, he agrees to spend his leave with her and Mrs. Dowey has the long wished for experience of mothering a boy.

When Private Dowey does not return, the old lady puts away his effects and bravely sets out to work.
