The Disgrace Of Kitty Grey (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
It was icy cold, and there was a strange aroma of salt and tar in the air which seemed to catch at the back of my throat. One of the guards hooked a lantern over a beam, said in a mocking voice, ‘I trust you’ll sleep well, ladies!’, and left us. We heard a crash as a bar came down outside the door, then the rattling of keys as he locked us in. ‘Here!’ shouted the girl who’d waved at the hulks – I’d heard her called Jane. ‘Don’t just go off and leave us. Where’s our vittles?’ ‘You surely don’t think they’ll feed us at this time of the night!’ said an older woman. ‘We’ll have to wait for morning.’ ‘Dumping us in here like a box of chickens!’ Jane said, thumping at the door. ‘At least in Newgate we were fed!’ The rest of us had been leaning against the walls and now began to slide to the floor, too tired and downhearted to care whether we supped or starved. Betsy was practically asleep on her feet and I pulled her down beside me and put her head on my lap.
