Lady Feetlick

‘Haha! You a lady feetlick! All day long you lick lady dirty shoe; stare at lady sock. Haha! You a nothing and a nobody. You queer. We all laugh at you!’

In the Gynarchy’s Japanese quarter the local head-in-the-wall footslave is a figure of fun – mocked by all. And rightly so, for he is, as the bright and intelligent young woman points out to him whilst he is lickshining her shoes, a ‘nothing and a nobody’, down amongst the feet!
