A young woman in her late 20's is seen walking towards a grey stoned building. The building has large two brown doors and eight small windows .The building is called the Brumley women's charity origination that helps women in need of help. The young woman walks up the steps to the building .She can hear her heart beating as she takes the last step she holds her breath and enters the building she says to her selfEva: (to her self) Please god let this work for me please.She takes a few steps forward and the secretary calls over.
Secretary: Can I be of any help to you young lady? You look lostEva: I have come to see the committee, as I need some helpSecretary: Take a seat in the waiting room and I will let them know you want to see themThe young woman walks towards a small wooden chair at the right hand side of the room. She picks up a leaflet and reads it; (the leaflet reads this)Brumley women's charity organisation is here to help you with all your needs. We will listen to your problems and try to help you with them. We will do anything to help you and try to understand.The secretary walks over to the young woman and urgently asks her nameSecretary: Young lady can I please have your name?Eva: My name.
.. My name is Eva no Daisy RentonSecretary: Okay Miss Renton when I call your name. Come to the front of the desk and you will be seen to the committee room.Eva: Yes, madam I shall do as you sayThe secretary walks back toward her desk when a woman in her late 40's calls her. The woman is dressed smartly she quietly talks to the secretary and goes back into the committee room.
The secretary puts her eyes at the girl at the right hand side of the room; She stares at the young woman calls her name powerfully.Secretary: Ms Renton the committee will see you now0The young woman stands up staring at the tall brown-haired woman. She walks towards the desk and she can only hear the echo of her shoes on the ground. The secretary gives a her a friendly smile and guides her to where she needs to go.
Secretary: Go straight down the hall and the room is on the left by the kitchen (The secretary says this in a sweet way) all the best and see you in a minute.The young woman walks down the hall and turns left. Before she knock the door she takes a deep breath and says to her self(To her self)Eva: Oh please let them understand and help meShe knocks the door and enters. They are five women sitting down at a small wooden table in the middle of the room. There is one chair in front of them.
Mrs B: Oh dear, will you please take a seat.Eva: I don't mean to be rude but I would rather standMrs B: So what is it we can do for you, my dear?Eva: I need some help as I'm pregnant and the father has left me and I do not have place to live.Mrs B: Well miss..
. if you don't mind me asking what is your name?(Smiling)Eva: My name is Ms Briling well my story is...
. (She stops as Mrs Birling interrupts)Mrs Birling looks at the young woman bitterly and furiously says to the young womanMrs B: You said your name was Mrs Birling. Did you or did you not?Eva: Yes I did, as that is my name. Mrs Daisy Birling (calmly)Mrs Birling is in shock as the young woman has used her name. She says to her in a savage wayMrs B That is a lie. My name is Mrs Birling and my son is not married.
I do not want to hear your story all you will so is lie.In shock the young woman wipes her eyes and takes a deep breath and tries to explain to Mrs Birling who is at the moment speaking to the other women at the table.Eva: Mrs Birling, I'm very sorry. My name is really Daisy Renton and I truly need help.Mrs B Why should I believe you? You lied to me and used impertinent use of my nameEva I am really sorry, Mrs Birling. It was just the first thing that came into my head.
If you would, please, listen to my storyMrs B Go on then. I haven't got all day you know. Please, make it quick if you don't mind.Eva It all happened a year ago. I got the sack from my job because myself and some other workers went on strike.
Mrs Birling jumps in and says competentlyMrs B Why did you cause a strike and why did you involve other workers?The young woman pauses for a minute and tries to explain herselfEva I caused the strike, as we were not getting paid for all the work we did, day and nightMrs B The thing is you factory workers get paid too much. If I were your boss I wouldn't even give you a penny.Eva Mrs Birling I truly understand how you must feel but if you would stop misjudging me and try to understand me. I am 26; I do not have a job, or any family to take care of my unborn child or me.
Your organisation is here to help the needing and not judge them if they are not wearing fancy clothes. I'm just like you. If you cut me I shall bleed red also. So I'm begging you to help meMrs B Well never in all my days have I been spoken to like that. You have no respect for the higher classes.
Don't you dare speak to me like THAT ever again!The young girl is crying and walks towards the seat in front of the committee. She looks at the other women at the table and gives them a smile before she sits down. She begins to tell her story, about how it all beganEva The reason I'm here is because I am pregnant and have nowhere to go. The father of my unborn child was about 3 years younger than me.
I met him at the Palace Theatre. He came back to the place where I was staying and said if I didn't let him in he would give me a row. He gave me money but I refused it. I never loved him, and I don't think he loved me.Mrs B How much money did he give you altogether including on top of the drink?Eva I should say about �50 including the drinks also. But he was giving me too much so I refused it.
Mrs B As if a girl of your sort would refuse any more money. I have nothing more to say to you. You shall not be getting a penny from my organisation or me. Now you please leave as we have better people to see.The young woman has burst into tears she makes an exit from the room when Mrs Birling says quite abruptlyMrs B Don't forget to close the door behind you, please. And thank you for coming to the Brumley Women's Charity Organisation.
Please come again!The young woman has stormed out of the building. The secretary comes and speaks to her and calms her downSecretary Young Lady are you all right? What happened in there? Did things go according to plan?Eva They were so evil! She didn't help me or try to understand. They glued their eyes at me as if I was some type of animal. I'm not being rude but I would rather be left alone if you don't mind.Secretary I'm sorry, I wish I could help you.The secretary is called back into the building.
She looks at the young woman and gives her a sympathy look and walks back into the building.The young woman goes down on her knees and screams outEva Why Lord, did you let this happen? I have nothing and now I will have to do the worst thing I can think of: Kill myself. I'm sorry forgive me.
