So then we looked at the moonlight quite
a lot. So I told him I would go to Vienna if I really knew it was
business and not some girl, because I could not see how business could
be so important. So then he told me all about it. So it seems that
Uncle Sam wants some new aeroplanes that everybody else seems to want,
especially England, and Uncle Sam has quite a clever way to get them
which is to long to put in my diary. So we sat up and saw the sun rise
and I became quite stiff and told him I would have to go down to my
room because, after all, the ship lands at France today and I said if I
got off the boat at France to go to Vienna with him I would have to
pack up.
So I went down to my room and went to bed. So then Dorothy came in and
she was up on the deck with the tennis champion but she did not notice
the sun rise as she really does not love nature but always wastes her
time and ruins her clothes even though I always tell her not to drink
champagne out of a bottle on the deck of the ship as it lurches quite a
lot. So I am going to have luncheon in my room and I will send a note
to Mr. Bartlett to tell him I will not be able to get off the boat at
France to go to Vienna with him as I have quite a headache, but I will
see him sometime somewhere else. So Major Falcon is going to come down
at 12 and I have got to thinking over what Mr. Bartlett called me at
Little Rock and I am quite upset. I mean a gentleman never pays for
those things but a girl always pays. So I think I will tell Major
Falcon all about the airoplane business as he really wants to know.
And, after all I do not think Mr. Bartlett is a gentleman to call me
all those names in Little Rock even if it was seven years ago. I mean
Major Falcon is always a gentleman and he really wants to do quite a
lot for us in London. Because he knows the Prince of Wales and he
thinks that Dorothy and I would like the Prince of Wales once we had
really got to meet him. So I am going to stay in my room until Mr.
Bartlett gets off the ship at France, because I really do not seem to
care if I never see Mr. Bartlett again.
So tomorrow we will be at England bright and early. And I really feel
quite thrilled because Mr. Eisman sent me a cable this morning, as he
does every morning, and he says to take advantage of everybody we meet
as traveling is the highest form of education. I mean Mr. Eisman is
always right and Major Falcon knows all the sights in London including
the Prince of Wales so it really looks like Dorothy and I would have
quite a delightful time in London.
