All the Nice Girls
“Little Binton was almost twelve miles from the Watsons’ farm and Dagwood might have thought it an unreasonable distance to travel to a church service, were it not for the Vicar of St Giles.The Reverend Godfrey Potter, M.A., had been padre to submarine flotillas for twenty years until the end of the war when he retired from the Navy to become a country parson. Despite the ancient superstition which forbade padres to go to sea in a submarine or even go on board one except by express invitation of... the Captain, the Reverend Godfrey had come to be recognised as padre to the Submarine Service. Perhaps there was some quality in the boats and the men who went to sea in them which fascinated him but he still spoke wistfully of his days on the China station, in Malta, in Scotland, and wherever submarines were gathered, as the happiest of his life and he was always extravagantly delighted when any submariner called on him. He himself was a short, thickset man, almost bald except for a ring of ginger hair round his scalp.MoreLess
