From Riddley Walker Annotations
- (159:28) "the woman dollys they hang over where a womans bearthing. Which them dollys theyre the same shape as the woman cakes they bake"
This is one of the few references in the book to female customs. His lack of knowledge about or apparent interest in the details (i.e. what the cakes are for), and his lack of contact with any woman but Lorna, imply that Riddley lives in a sexually segregated world and takes this for granted.
