I don't think Essendorf would be at all likely to give away any more interesting information in the domestic circle." "What are we all going to do, then?" Maggie asked.

I asked him to come round and have a few last words with us, in case there was anything to suggest for us stay-at-homes."

"My boy here has been raving about your stories of the war until I'm fairly green with envy. Now I'm to hear a bit of them myself, he says. I wish you would tell me some of your experiences, my lad. You know a chance like this is a real god-send to us poor stay-at-homes. Now fire away! I'm ready." But John McGuire was not ready.
Her hands were now clasped before her. There was sad thinking in her eyes. "You are the last of my six boys," said she, "and you are going away from me too."
