"There are two who decline, a woman and I, And enjoy our death in the darkness here." On their arrival the station was lively with straw-hatted young men, welcoming young girls who bore a remarkable family likeness to their welcomers, and who were dressed up in the brightest and lightest of raiment. "The place seems gay," said Sue. "Why it is Remembrance Day!
