17/60 It's rather long, but you mustn't say anything till I've finished." "'Saturday' (Peter's letter ran) I gave up to getting ready for Sunday, though Harold' (he's the O.C.of the camp, Peter says, a jolly decent sort of man) 'wanted me to go up town with him. I had had a talk with him about the services, and had fixed up to have a celebration in the morning in the Y.M.C.A. in camp--they have a quiet room, and there is a table in it that one puts against the wall and uses for an altar--and an evening service in the canteen-hall part of the place. I couldn't have a morning service, as I was to go out to the forest camp, as I have told you.' He said in his first letter how he had been motored out to see a camp in the forest where they are cutting wood for something, and he had fixed up a parade," said Hilda, looking up. |
