44. Tue Oct 20.] necessary reminder that they owed me 2/1. And link (???) the value in books. Went back then by bus to Holbom. Said good-bye to Miss Ashby and Miss Hewett. Patis came with us then to Uncle Jim's at Eastcheap. Said Good-bye to him. Walked to Mark Lane Station. On the platform there two foreigners. Either French or Belgian wounded. Came up to me and asked "Do you speak French?" I told them I didn't but all the same promptly made an attempt. They wanted to know which train to take for Moorgate Street. I managed to explain that they wanted an Inner Circle. They wanted to know when I was going to the front! Just then the train came in so I said " Nolive (???) Train" and Adieu & so they left. 45 [Tue Oct 20. We reached Bromley about 4.30. Pat came in about 5.0 wearing his uniform. (Pte. Artists Reserve). We talked much about nothing in portico (???) until we left about 6.30. Caught a Hammersmith Train at Aldgate hoping to catch the 7.7 fast from the L St. when we got there the said 7.7 was stranded on the other side of the platform. Patio wanted to go in the Hammers but I said no it may go out first. This turned out to be so, & we had just scrambled in when it moved. Got back to Harrow about 8.0. Roredan came over about 8.30 on his bike. He saluted very nicely when he came in. He has got Butler with him in the 9th as well as Smiles (???)& Trongaban (???). He seems quite happy. He vanished about 9.30.
