Where: The Mall

Who: Irene Tintype

I go in amongst all these people, so lovely to be among so many, I wonder what it is all about. Someone has given me a flag and I do wave it now with the rest of them. Such company. Such a pleasure. I do say to them now and then:

‘I’m Irene Tintype. Hello, I’m Irene Tintype.’

And some wave their flags back at me.

I am Irene Tintype, I’ve never felt so Irene Tintype in all my life!

‘Irene Tintype,’ I say as I push through, ‘that’s Irene like teeny, not Irene like spleen.’ People try to push me back. That’s not fair is it, that’s not nice, so I push back and then they push some more, but I barge on, I will get to the front. Leave me be, how they do pull at me, to try to stop me getting forward.
