Тезаурус:
- His landlady, Penny (a slatternly version of Odysseus's Penelope), treats Sya as a substitute for her missing soldier-husband, while her lodger Burt, a footloose unemployed actor, yearns to swap his decadent native land for the iron certainties of Iran.
- She looked like a once proud young woman waging an unequal struggle against slatternly middle age, her hands red from labour and her face grey with exhaustion, but her eyes preserving some yet-to-be extinguished sparkle of ambition.
- nurse at St Bartholomew's Hospital, and friend of Mrs Gamp's, whom she closely resembles in her slatternly ways, brutal behaviour towards patients, and ignorance of elementary nursing procedure.
- Environmental determinists are also numerous among the social commentators of the period: "Wretched houses make wretched homes; and while immoral or slatternly habits convert fine dwellings into styes, it is almost as true that dirty and unhealthy habitations transfer a taint to the character and habits of the persons who occupy them."
