Thu. 28th Nov. (cont.)
Had a splendid little three-course dinner – port, sherry, beer, but no liquers. I entertained the Major with lies about my experience in Canada (where I have not been), but Huss the S.S. chap, gave us some regular thrills with his experiences in Germany, (mostly lies too, I s'pose.)
Fri. 29th.
Breakfast with Jackson, order a car for 11.30 am, interview the Merchant Service representative here and get a 1st class railway pass & a few quid, slip back to a cosy club which has plenty of big cretonne-covered chairs, coal fire, and a bar. Huss, Ted, & I get our car about noon, sail past our civilian ex-fellow prisoners who are now plodding down to the train and leave for London about 1 pm. Then – London.
Miss Rodell met & carried off the Boy – I found N.W.M. waiting, resplendent (naturally) in The New Naval Burberry, a badge like a rising sun, and an ebony-and-silver cane.
