It was colder today than usual. Mrs. Frobisher thought as she reached the seats in Victoria Station. Her leg was troubling her badly, and she sat down with satisfaction. By her side she placed the stick which she had to use when walking. She looked round without much interest.
There were only a few people on the seats. She never believed that sitting there improved her health in any way; but Dr. Lund had said that she must be out of her flat and in the open air for at least two hours every day.
"Well, with this leg, I can’t walk for two hours a day. " She had replied sharply; "And where are the parks in this part of London?"
"Take a bus to Hyde Park or to Greek park. " he had said.
"And who’ll pay for that every day?"
Then he told her to sit in Victoria Station when she got tired of walking. So she sat there every day for an hour or more. It cost her nothing and it was not as bad as she had feared. The air was fairly fresh because all the trains were electric; but nothing very important ever happened, and it was always dull. She was never sorry when she could go back home and read by her fire or listen to the radio.
She looked down at her old shoes. A good pair of shoes was one of her needs, but she had only a little money at present. Maybe in a few months she could buy a pair, then she would be able to walk better.
She looked up when a crowd of people from a train rushed through the gate which was just in front of her seats. She often wondered why people came to London every day in such large numbers and why they were always in such a hurry. Her own days were long and dull and time passed slowly for her.
She pulled her coat more closely round her shoulders. The day was cold, and her coat was getting thin. But she was glad enough to have an overcoat of any kind. Anyway, there were some people who didn’t have an overcoat at all. Once she had been of some importance in the world. She had worked on committees and she had had a secretary to help her; but that was long ago. Now she was old and poor and she had a bad leg too. A useless old woman!
