'Blank's Tours' was embroidered on his cap, and I have no doubt that he is a good husband and father, even a good citizen, but he is a blight upon the landscape, and fancy cannot breathe in his presence. We had an adventure yesterday. We were to dine at eight o'clock at Balkilly Castle, where Dr. La Touche is staying the week-end with Lord and Lady Killbally.
It was always said that the Germans got a fresh supply of ammunition at the week-end, and Sunday was scarcely ever a day of rest. However that may be, this Sunday was the worst day I had for some time. After sending over a few small howitzer shells, the German field-guns sent periodical showers of shells, 'whizz-bangs' we called them, on to the support trench and C.T.
"This week-end sure, your Excellency within the next three nights the little Welshman will be after summoning the Cabinet to sit in secret in Downing Street, with His Most Gracious Majesty attending in person; the emergency extraordinary being thoughtfully provided by this shindig me amiable but spirited fellow-countrymen are kicking up across the Channel God bless the work!"
Puritanism could not last out a week-end without the able assistance of the standardized double life. And that is just what the flappers refuse to respect.

One of the strange things about this war has been the way in which those who could have been best spared, escaped." In spite of herself, Betty smiled again. "Godfrey has come back to England for good," she said quietly, "he's coming to-day for a long week-end." "D'you mean," asked Miss Pendarth, "that he's coming to stay with this Mrs. Crofton at The Trellis House?" "Oh, no!" exclaimed Betty.
Among other places he drove to "Hardy Brothers" in Pall Mall, where he stayed over an hour. By the time he got back to Artillery Mansions it was lunch time. More letters awaited him, also a telegram.

"They did," I said. "Because Jimmy made them." Yes. I am very sorry for Mrs. Thesiger. "Mildred dear, I think Jimmy had better have Reggie's room." Then she went to him; and I am told that she kissed him for the first time. She kissed him as if he had been her son.
