[Footnote 28: Even now, when I am asked if I did any nursing when I was in Belgium I have to think before I answer: "Only for one morning and one night"--it would still be much truer to say, "I was nursing all the time."] [Footnote 29: My Day-Book ends abruptly here; and I have no note of the events that followed.] [Footnote 30: Incorrect. It was, I believe, the uniform of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry Corps.] [Footnote 31: It was so bad that it made me forget to pack the Commandant's Burberry and his Gillette razors and his pipe.] [Footnote 32: The Commandant had had an adventure. The Belgian guide mistook the road and brought the car straight into the German lines instead of the British lines where it had been sent. If the Germans hadn't been preoccupied with firing at that moment, the Commandant and Ascot and the Belgian would all have been taken prisoner.] [Footnote 33: Even now, five months after, I cannot tell whether it was or was not insanity.] [Footnote 34: It is really dreadful to think of the nuisance we must have been to these dear people on the eve of their own flight.] [Footnote 35: The Commandant had his own scheme for going back to Ghent, which fortunately he did not carry out.] [Footnote 36: This girl's courage and self-devotion were enough to establish our innocence--they needed no persuasion. But I still hold myself responsible for her going, since it was my failure to control my obsession that first of all put the idea in her head.] [Footnote 37: I saw nothing sinister about this arrangement at the time. It seemed incredible to me that I should not return.] [Footnote 38: Having saved the suit-case, I guarded it as a sacred thing. But Dr. Hanson's best clothes and her surgical instruments were in the tin box after all.] The following pages contain advertisements of books by the same author or on kindred subjects. By THE SAME AUTHOR The Return of the Prodigal _Cloth, 12mo. $1.35_ "These are stories to be read leisurely with a feeling for the stylish and the careful workmanship which is always a part of May Sinclair's work. They need no recommendation to those who know the author's work and one of the things on which we may congratulate ourselves is the fact that so many Americans are her reading friends."--_Kansas City Gazette-Globe._ "They are the product of a master workman who has both skill and art, and who scorns to produce less than the best."--_Buffalo Express._ "Always a clever writer, Miss Sinclair at her best is an exceptionally interesting one, and in several of the tales bound together in this new volume we have her at her best."--_N. Y. Times._ " ... All of which show the same sensitive apprehension of unusual cases and delicate relations, and reveal a truth which would be hidden from the hasty or blunt observer."--_Boston Transcript._ "One of the best of the many collections of stories published this season."--_N. Y. Sun._
