Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1936

Griff teases Ida about her staying away with her sister Elsa, sharing a bed while away. It looks like Ida is a restless late night reader.
He compliments the fit of her clothes and introduces her to the Three Stooges.
His work at the travel agents has been difficult lately - the figures for 1935 weren't promising and he had to go door-to-door as a salesperson looking for work. "It is a disheartening job going round looking for business and worse when I visit the works in Ardwick, Bradford and Ancoats, and see the appalling conditions of some people and houses." He claims he is not a socialist but that it's hard to see "of course the individual if often at fault bit not always by any means."
