"Where are you going at this hour?" asked Erin's mother.

"Out"

"Out where?"

"Just out on a dander mammy" replied Erin.

"One your own?"

"Why not? Can a woman not go for a walk on her own?" asked Erin.

"Not you Erin. Do you not have homework to be doing?"

"This is for my homework. History project. On the walls"

"Do you ever do a history project that's not about the walls?" Asked Mary.

"Mammy everything is about the walls. They are spectacular"

"Ok don't leave it too late. And I want you home before it gets dark!"
