Mosey was married that day. He has a

son and heir who rejoices in the gorgeous

name of Cecil James -- -- Bastion

Mosey. The two dashes are for Christian

names which he possesses but which

she had forgotten. Winnie Case it seems

has been playing a twisty game. Annie

said some person informed her that

Winnie was engaged. So she went

to congratulate her and said "I suppose

Jo (a Scarboro man) is the lucky one."

She was most astonished when Winnie

replied 'no I am engaged to a Scotch

Officer. Some men won't half get an

eye opener when they arrive home 

after the war and see their wives

in normal state and not through rosy

coloured spectacles.


We went onto Rowntree's Cafe and 

met Amy Suggitts and all had tea

together. Then they suggested going to Catlins

well it was awful. Tommy rot from

beginning to end. We sat; the three of us,

with solid faces and came to the

conclusion that men of a certain class 

are more easily amused than women
