Silence.
Presently we hear the knocker-up approaching, tapping on the windows with a pole to wake the mill girls.
ARTHUR (off) Rise and shine Elsie James ... quarter to six.
ARTHUR BOGGIS enters. He is in uniform with a gas cape. He taps at a window.
ARTHUR Are you there Mrs Bloor and Brenda? Quarter to six. Rise and shine.
MAY What are you doing, knocking up, Arthur?
ARTHUR Morning May ... Tom. Jack's got the sciatica and as I was to be up early for the great day, I said I'd do this end of the street while his son does the other.
i am now furiously reverting to my roots to rediscover my authentic lancashire accent, as well as marvelling at the idea of me as a knocker-upper!
