"I have been here before." "Are you all right?" asked Zeb, the colored man. "No accidents or nothin'?" "Nothing at all, Zeb, I'm glad to say," was the Captain's answer.
Owing to the fact that we had moved to our house in the country in the last days of July, 1914, my London house was shut up except for a caretaker, and my wife could not bring up servants for the occasion or give me her help, which would have been invaluable, because she was tremendously busy with Red Cross organisation and getting our house ready for what it was so soon to become, i.e. a hospital with forty beds.
