Description: A lane off a lane. All the houses face backyards. The newest houses, those near the end have no windows in front. Most of them have their own little gardens. The woman living in the first house with the verandah was so desparately poor that she resolved to save the maternity bonus, and so, with her last baby had neither anaesthetic nor doctor.
