even one little post-card to the girls who weep their hearts out for
them! You English are all hypocrites. You boast that you 'play the

nights there was always a luminance over the water and one could see
to walk along the quayside. Northward and eastward the sky was
quivering with flashes of white light, like summer lightning, and now

blown up by that gun-fire, sullen and menacing, which never ceased for
years.
