Helper

 

Diary, Tuesday 3rd January 1995:

We have a helper, she is called Evadney. Quiet and a little heavy. She cleans the house and occasionally cooks for us and looks after the children. She lives in a side street off Grants Pen Avenue, in a little yard with a corrugated iron fence with her mother and daughter and other relatives. After I collected her there one time, she asked me if I was scared coming down this street. This was after she told me never to pick up a hitchhiker or to help old ladies with broken down cars. She is always frightened. She sleeps with her windows closed. It is hot she says.
