Sporting Wandsworth Common

TOTTIE ARMOUR

---

Headline

Why some children, whether my equals or old enough to protect me, were pleasant, and how, I cannot say. Their faces are invisible to me all except one: I can say only that some were fat and the eyes narrow, and that some girls had dark hair, others fair. The one that I can see has black curly hair, dark eyes and cherry lips; and she is smiling: her name was Tottie Armour. We picked sorrel leaves and ate them among the gorse bushes on Wandsworth Common.

I was interested in his very precise description of her: "black curly hair, dark eyes and cherry lips"

Maybe a bit of a stretch, but I'm interested that her gold-medal-winning design is of water, and fishes, and willows. Very Wandsworth Common, eh?
