Tickets, Please

John Thomas Raynor is an inspector on the trams and Annie Stone is a conductress. He is good-looking and cocky, and he’s been out with all of the conductresses but Annie. She has a sharp tongue, and, she believes, knows his measure. Nonetheless, an exciting evening at a local fair leads to growing intimacy, and when Raynor proves uninterested in more than flirtation, Annie’s revenge is terrible.

“Tickets, Please” is a short story by D.H. Lawrence set in the English Midlands during the First World War.
