 Airs of VIII | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 - 9 | Children bounce a ball off the factory wall. Others play hopscotch. One, splashing in an oily puddle, bursts into sudden, inexplicable laughter. He is ignored. |
| 10 - 19 | Children bounce a ball off the factory wall. Others play hopscotch. One, splashing in an oily puddle, sits on the ground in sudden, deep thought. He is ignored. |
| 20 - 29 | Two elderly men are playing bowls. They move slowly, […] There is a quiet companionship […] A third joins them from the factory – he walked through a lilac-tinged mist on the way. The bowls players do not comment on the tears he wipes with his sleeve. |

| 82 - 100 | A worker rushes from the factory to collect his colleague from a nearby bench. The man is late back on shift, having apparently become lost in reverie while consuming a sandwich. He stares into space, smiling, oblivious of his colleague's shouts. |
