Got some supper, fixed up a bed for Hardinge, and so self to bed. Up till now Vrntze was undisturbed by the war; the fine ladies were walking the streets much as usual, and were bringing pressure upon Gaschitch, the commandant, to make us close one of our hospitals, so that it might be reopened as a lodging-house.
Major Gaschitch also said that if Serbia could hold out till the 10th, something wonderful was going to happen. Our visitors had rather a hard time. One of them was trotting into the little sitting-room of the hospital. She opened the door and started back aghast. There was a man within clad in nothing but a large pair of moustaches. She fled. Mr.
Berry thought the news rather serious, and told us that Gaschitch had said that we must be prepared to move at twenty-four hours' notice; so back we went to the work on the boxes. Next day news was brought that the Bulgars had drawn back, and had said that the Serbs had attacked them first, that the Powers had declared war on Bulgaria, and that the Russians had bombarded Varna.
He has fought English and French and Russians, but he says our troops are the most wonderful of all." "Jolly sensible chap," said Jan. "I'd say the same myself if I was a prisoner." Major Gaschitch told Dr. Berry that if the Serbian army retreated we were to retreat with them. Blease and Jan got hard at work putting rope handles to the packing-cases and labelling them for special purposes.
One of our lady doctors was valued in the morning. In the outpatient department a question arose about marriage. A Serb patient said "I can marry any time I like. Pah! Everybody was now running about with maps, violently explaining the situation to everybody else, and all explaining differently. Major Gaschitch had fixed Novi Bazar as our probable haven, and Mr.
Some imaginative people enlarged on "the brigands" and "wolves," but we did not think that they counted for much. The chief problems were, if we could get shelter each night, and could we carry enough food to support us in case we could get none, which seemed very possible. We got an order from Gaschitch for bread from the Serbian authorities.
