The Friends
Description
Edith always got to school late, with her clothes unpressed and her holey stockings bagging round her legs. She acted friendly, but Phyllisia didn't want her for a friend - though, in this hostile city of New York, she badly needed one. Then came the dreadful day when Phyllisia got into a fight.
