YWCA building, Mrs Bwldjens is selling her home-made fudge. She is proud of her Dutch name. In a small room at the back, Gracie Bartholomeus is teaching English elocution to Muslim children: while across the road. inside the old Dutch church Nesta Brohier polishes a brass plate bearing her daughter's name.
