The medical professionals in Shepherd's Bush who arrange for and perform May's abortion, Harris is a small, worried-looking, kindly Jew for whom abortions are no more upsetting than tonsillectomies. Celia arranges for May to see him soon after her arrival in Shepherd's Bush. His examination is painless and unembarrassing. He asks pro forma about why she is terminating the pregnancy and accepts the answer that neither she nor the married father want the baby. He refers her to Mr. White, a well-known surgeon at a posh address near Harley Street. White operates on a cash-only basis, up front, to prevent being cheated and for tax purposes.
