Question

How did the acting Mrs. Pearson deal with Doris?

✓

Answer

Doris came home from work and ordered Mrs. Pearson to make tea and also told her to iron her yellow silk dress. The acting Mrs. Pearson hadn't prepared any tea for her and asked her why she wanted the dress ironed. Doris wanted to know from her what would happen in office if people replied like her.
The mother said that at office if they didn’t want to work they used the Union. Also when Doris said that she needed the yellow dress to go out with Charlie Spence, Mrs. Pearson made fun of him by saying he had buck teeth and was half- witted.
She also told her that she should find someone better and if she couldn't then she should give herself up as a bad job. This left Doris shocked but she realized never to take her mother to be meek and unaware.
