| Description | In this short essay Elizabeth Taylor describes how it is possible to gain information, benefit and amusement by paying attention to the strangers surrounding us on a crowded street. She includes a number of examples to demonstrate this idea, writing about a case of mistaken identity which she had recently experienced whilst out on London Bridge. Elizabeth also includes anecdotes about getting her ribbons caught in the door of an omnibus and falling asleep on a train from Gloucester to London.
A pencil annotation on the reverse of the last page of this essay reads 'Miss Lea, Journal Office, Oxford', suggesting that Elizabeth Taylor may have intended to submit her work for publication. |
