“It’ll never look nice so there’s no point in trying… all it’s good for is cutting.” Mrs Postlethwaite tells her. “The only reason I haven’t chopped it off is because it’d blunt my scissors!” she callously adds. But Alice’s envy is only one side of the coin. She knows how Billy hates having to sleep with his hair bound in the prickly metal rollers and having it pulled and tugged into a myriad of clips and ribbons before going to school, the shops or church. The process might be a pain but the result is very pretty… albeit a little too pretty as far as Billy is concerned. It has crossed his mind on more than a few occasions to take a pair of scissors to it and chop it all off, but he fears the consequences would be far more painful than the annoying yet bearable rollers.
