...this knowledge as a secret and until last night no one had found us out. Inspectors, both official and unofficial, have told us how pleased they have been with our work and in the privacy of our rooms we have laughed and said: "Well, we get away with it, anyway."

It was my first visit to England, so I would have had a pretty splendid time anyway; but as an added attraction it was the open season for Gothas--the moonlight nights at the end of September...
