Do you think I don't know that, lassie
mine, - or were you referring to the
words of the song? Yes, I expect you
will be changing, but only wait and see
- I cannot write all I should like. It
will only make something greater as
far as I'm concerned - see? Poor old
Dash getting lost - I can quite see him with
one ear up + one down! So poor Richard
III has been operated upon - well I can
sympathise as I've been ditto myself (I'm
alright now) but I'll tell you later what
troubles I had in that respect. Two more
of our ward left for "Blighty" at 5.30
this morning. This leaves only one out
of bed. It's hard luck on him as he
has to do all the fetching of food etc
for the rest of us. At present I'm
reading the "Abbess of Vlaye" by
Weyman, it's very good altho' I've an
idea I've read it before in days of
yore. We are having beautiful weather
