William locked up the house and we retired to our Chambers.
But as I had slept most of the day I could not compose myself to
Slumber, but sat up in my robe de nuit and reflected about
Carter Brooks, and that perhaps it would be better for him not
to enlist as there is plenty to be done here at home, where one
is safe from bullets, machine guns and so on. Because, although
not Sentamental about him or silly in any way, I felt that he
should not wish to go into danger if his mother objected. And
after all one must consider mothers and other Parents.
I put a dressing gown over my _robe de nuit_, and having
then remembered about the Wireless, I put out my light and sat
in the window seat. But there was no Mast to be seen, and
nothing but the ark light swinging.
I then saw some one come in the drive and go back to the
Garage, but as Henry has a friend who has been out of work and
sleeps with him, although not told to the Familey, as probably
objecting,--although why I could not see, since he used half of
Henry's bed and therfore cost nothing--I considered that it was
he.
It was not, however, as I shall now record in this Log or
Journal.
