August 11th - 14th 1914 - Thanks & Gratitude

August 11th Tuesday

An American millionaire Mr Morgan, is very kind, the ladies maids bring us fruit, tea and soup each day.  They come to us in a motor at midday with soup and again at teatime with baskets of fruit also tea.

They are very kind to us.  We are in love with them all. 

August 12th Wednesday

We are awfully lucky here.  Everybody is ready to help us.  Some friendly people who pass us every morning stop their car to give us newspapers and chat, also Sir John Knightley sends up his housemaid with fruit and lemonade.  Of course, we made her stay in our little shanty to team, and had a pleasant time on the whole.  Absolutely enjoying ourselves here.

August 13th Thursday

Harry Clark and I went down to Alton to make purchases.  This is a splendid little town and is noted for its breweries.

August 14th Friday

A housemaid comes in again, stayed to tea, whilst halfway through our meal, Capt. Hamilton arrived with pay of 6/- each, of course we were a bit flurried, but he said he did not mind and then joined the party, much to our amusement, but later Harry and I took her home.
