This my darling enabled me to do, and thereby saved my soul alive. And now we are once more all in all to each other; and the love that is stronger than death can lighten even the long shadows cast by the Great War. I do not think there is any more to add to my story, save the interesting fact that we have christened our first-born son _Francis_. At present he finds his sole occupation in mewling and puking in his nurse's arms; but his beloved mother and I have every reason to hope that eventually he will learn to employ his time with more profit both to himself and to the world at large. I think that some day "Sir Francis Kingsnorth" will be quite an effective name and sound very well indeed. But I shall not be there to hear it.
