Now, I'll begin and tell you everything exactly as it happened. Many a "confession-letter"I've begun in just these words, but never one like this. I don't deserve that it should bringme the heartease which used to come. But the thought of you is my star in darkness. Brianis the last person to whom I can speak, because above all things I want him to be happy. Onearth there is no one else. Beyond the earth there is-you.When Brian was wounded, they expected him to die, and he was asking for me. Thetelegram came one day when we had all been rather overworked in the hospital, and I wasfeeling ready to drop. I must only have imagined my tiredness though, for when I heardabout Brian I grew suddenly strong as steel. I was given leave, and disinfected, and purifiedas thoroughly as Esther when she was being made worthy of Ahasuerus. Then I dashed offto catch the first train going north.St. Raphael was our railway station, but I hadn't seen the place since I took up work in theH???pital des ???pid???mies. That was many months before; and meanwhile a training-school forAmerican aviators had been started at St. Raphael. News of its progress had drifted to ourears, but of course the men weren't allowed to come within a mile of us: we were toocontagious. They had sent presents, though-presents of money, and one grand gift hadburst upon us from a young millionaire whose father's name is known everywhere. He senta cheque for a sum so big that we nurses were nearly knocked down by the size of it. Withit was enclosed a request that the money should be used to put wire-nettings in allwindows and doors, and to build a roofed loggia for convalescents. If there were anythingleft over, we might buy deck-chairs and air-pillows. Of course it was easy for any one toknow that we needed all these things. Our lack was notorious. We sent a much disinfected, carbolic-smelling round robin of thanks to "James W. Beckett, Junior," son of the westernrailway king.
