Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wonderful Village: A Further Record of Some Famous Folk and Places by Chelsea Reach Though their material had been for some time accumulating, these papers were, with one exception, written in the long evenings of last autumn; and at this stage of Armageddon such a confession requires apology, if it is to escape the instant scorn of the patriot catechist. Who that saw it can forget the tragic humour of that ineffable picture of the harmless wizened little being shrinking into the depths of the parental arm-chair, confronted by the inevitable question of the rising generation in the years to be: "What did you do in the Great War?" But, qui s´excuse! And the answer, after all, is only a halting one; for it admits the impeachment, and can only plead that one did what one could; and that being invalided out of the "Specials" after two good years of patrol and emergency call, and unkindly relegated to a Permanent Base billet at home for all overtime energies, it was not unnatural that those yet willing energies - poor but honest, like Helena´s friends - should turn again to the writing desk and the old Chelsea Portfolios.
