Three nice old ladies and a criminal, who is even nicer, are discussing the war over a cup of tea. The criminal, who is the hostess, calls it a dish of tea, which shows that she comes from Caledonia; but that is not her crime. They are all London charwomen, but three of them, including the hostess, are what are called professionally 'charwomen and' or simply 'ands.' An 'and' is also a caretaker when required; her name is entered as such in ink in a registry book, financial transactions take place across a counter between her and the registrar, and altogether she is of a very different social status from one who, like Mrs. Haggerty, is a charwoman but nothing else. Mrs. Haggerty, though present, is not at the party by invitation; having seen Mrs. Dowey buying the winkles, she followed her downstairs, so has shuffled into the play and sat down in it against our wish. We would remove her by force, or at least print her name in small letters, were it not that she takes offence very readily and says that nobody respects her. So, as you have slipped in, you sit there, Mrs. Haggerty; but keep quiet.

This scarce book contains a wonderful collection of short stories written by J. M. Barrie, including: The Old Lady Shows Her Medals, The New World, Barbara’s Wedding, and A Well-Remembered Voice. A wonderful collection that will greatly appeal to fans and collectors of Barrie’s work, Echoes of War is a compendium with obvious literary value and rightly deserves a place atop any bookshelf. This book was originally published in 1920 and is proudly republished here complete with a new prefatory biography of the author. Sir James Matthew Barrie (9 May 1860 – 19 June 1937) was a Scottish author and dramatist, most famous for writing the wonderful children’s story Peter Pan. Elected for republication due to its historic and literary value, it is hoped that this text can be enjoyed in years to come as it once was at the time of its original publication.
