Trimming off the rest of this post is unnecessary.

I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in

you have no particular reason to trust me. Someday, I hope.
I will post results Saturday.

-here-take a look at it yerself."
Quickly I scanned the column so clearly indicated by his
very dirty thumb mark. Employment Bureaux, Employ-
ment Agencies. Jobs. "But this is for women," I said
disgustedly.
"Garn!" he replied, "You can't read, it says there men
and women. Now you go along an' see 'em an' don't take

no old buck from them. Oh! They'll play you up and
string you along if you let 'em. Tell 'em you want a job,
or else!"
That afternoon I hurried off to the heart of London,
climbing the dingy stairs to a ramshackle office in a back
street of Soho. A painted woman with artificially blond hair
and scarlet talons of nails was sitting at a metal desk in a
room so small it might once have been a cupboard.
"I want a job," I said.
She leaned back and surveyed me coolly. Yawning
widely, she displayed a mouthful of decayed teeth and a
furred tongue. "Ooaryer?" she said. I gaped at her blankly.
"Ooaryer?" she repeated.
"I am sorry," I said, "but I do not understand your
question."
"Oogawd!" she sighed wearily. "Ee don't speak no
English. 'Erefillupaform." She threw a questionnaire at me,
removed her pen, clock, a book and her handbag, and
