A Girl in Wartime
“‘It’s George,’ she said. ‘Been arrested for fighting.’ ‘For fighting?’ Connie’s tone raised in incredulity.
‘In the street – arrested for causing a disturbance, it says.’ Sitting at the kitchen table, Dorothy, her stomach big now, the baby expected late February or early March, glanced up. ‘Hope I hear from my Ron soon.’ She sighed. ‘Seems ages since I had a letter from him.’ Mum looked at her in sympathy. ‘Should get one soon, love. I just hope both my boys are all right.’ She turned back to C...onnie. ‘But George – don’t know what your dad will say when he comes in tonight and reads this.’ He’d left to do his coal deliveries well before the post had arrived. In normal times it would get delivered about seven thirty, another one around eleven, one in the afternoon, and the last one around teatime. But the war made deliveries erratic; sometimes one post was missed out altogether.
Connie’s father had no sympathy for postmen – nowadays more often post-woman.MoreLess
