necessary, honey. I suspect strongly that you didn't mind it. I shall always remember your flashlight winking at me as long as I could see. Did you catch my semaphore message? I signalled in good army code I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U. My train, which was to have left at 10:27 got away finally at 3:30. I waited at the hotel. Several times I thought I couldn't stand it any longer, that I should have to telephone to hear your voice anyway. Then I'd think of the way we had said our auf wiederschen, and I couldn't consider adding a parting by wire. How wonderful this experience is! It seems to me that all the world has changed. Old conceptions and attitudes have left me, and I wonder at the goodness and sweetness in life as never before. Oh, Daphne, the big adventure
