"The boy I've just been talking to
hadn't any"
"My people at home never miss a

write /. And there's such a
difference in their letters.
There's cousin Katie, now. She
writes as if l had been turned into a
bronze statue on a pedestal :.
We can never repay your noble sac

"And Katie's not a bit like that
really. She's what the people here
call topping good sort. But she
thinks that's the prper way to do it.
Mothers letters are the best of
all. When | came away she said she
would try to think when she wrote
that l was staying over at Aunt .Har-

then it would be easier to write. So
she tells me that she has put up clean
curtains in. the sitting room; and that
