It was first published under the title of The Common Round in the New Age on 31 May 1917 and later as The Pictures in Art and Letters in Autumn 1919.
[1] Miss Moss wakes up in the morning and she is hungry because she didn't have dinner the night before, nor is she going to have breakfast : she cannot afford it.
Then her landlady turns up and gives her a letter hoping that it would be the rent, but it is note from an employment agency, saying they will get back to her.
She then decides to go into a café and there a stout man sits beside her and then they leave together.
The text is written in the modernist mode, without a set structure, and with many shifts in the narrative.
