It seems an open and shut case of bureaucratic injustice to Sarah Danby and she moves into the attack, crusading banner on high.

Hope Wise had a horror of house-work and she couldn't stand being left behind when her husband went out to work. So... she got herself a man's job on the railways operating a signal cabin.
It's shift work demanding self-confidence and a rough and ready outlook. But she had to learn to live with a tough breed and survive their initiation tricks. For her, coming to terms with work has meant unusual adjustments.
