Cousin Becky's champions

A lively portrait of a bustling Edwardian street unfolds as we follow the spirited Roger Trent, a nine‑year‑old with a quick temper and a fierce sense of justice. After witnessing his cousin Edgar’s careless cruelty toward a stray terrier, Roger’s anger erupts into a physical clash, setting off a chain of tense family conversations that reveal deep‑seated rivalries and the pressures of modest living.

At home, his mother and sister Polly navigate the fallout, each offering their own perspective on fairness, pride, and the tangled web of expectations that bind them. Their banter captures the everyday dramas of a household where money is scarce, relatives meddle, and youthful ideals clash with adult prudence.
