is in danger, as although usualy
making steel, which does not explode and is therfore a safe business, he
is now making shells, and every time it has thundered this week she has
ohserved:
"The mill!"
She refuses to be placated, although knowing that only those known to
the foremen can enter, as well as having a medal with a number on it,
and at night a Password which is new every night.
I know this, because we have this evening made up a list of Passwords
for the next week, using a magazine to get them out of, and taking
advertisements, such as Cocoa, Razers, Suspenders and so on. Not these
actualy but others like them.
We then learned them off by heart and burned the paper, as one cannot be

"Your own car being out of order, miss?"
"It is," I retorted. "As you will probably be going to the Garage,
although against orders, while Henry is out, you can see it yourself."
I then went out and sat in front in order to converce with Henry, as the
back is lonely. I looked up at the door and William was standing there,
with a very queer look on his face.

contain several baskets, etcetera. He then dismounted a
