hold my tongue was difficult.  But an instinct told me that it was not quite the moment to speak.  I appeared, I think, pleased with everything.  DuBouchet went away after awhile and the rest talked of more practical matters, such as heads of departments and so on.  Bob brought me home, came in for a drink and returned for dinner.  Hazy stopped to see me.  All this was Thursday.

[[underlined]] Friday [[/underlined]] Bob and I lunched with the Watkins.  That was considered a good thing to do.  He is the clergyman at the American church.  They have girls working for them and will make us all our supplies, such as linens, shirts wrappers etc for hospital.  Got away early; picked up C. Carroll and went to Morgans.  Had a talk with H. Harjes who has a Field Hospital.  Went out to the Hospital where Mrs Munroe took me about.  Bob asked them to dine.  Went about in a government car with him which was good fun.  Called on nurses.  Got hold of Martin to come for dinner.
