Rose passes by a shop that sells Sunday papers and
Dallow yells to her that her mother is at Frank’s waiting for her. There’s a gramophone player in the shop. Rose asks if she might play a record sometime. Dallow answers for the owner; of course she can. She buys a
News of the World for her mother and walks on.
Judy lets her in at Frank’s, telling her she has a visitor. Rose runs up the stairs, anxious to finally meet her mother on common ground, woman to woman. But it’s not her mother waiting for her. It’s
Ida.
