ABSTRACT

WE got up at half-past five, made tea and ate some bread and butter. At six we found Hermina waiting for us. I wasn’t particularly pleased, feeling that she might just as well have stayed, but it was too early in the morning for arguments, so I just told her to get in. She mounted the second ambulance with Tildesley and off we started. I was still feeling the effects of the sausage, though it had ceased to bite.
