They called on us for speeches and matches and segars and we
kept the procession supplied with food and drink. Nobody got
mad and they answered back but we were prepared with numerous
repartees and they were apparently so surprised by finding a
party of ladies and gentlemen engaged in chaffing court
officials that they would forget to reply until they had moved
on. One bus driver said "Oh, you can larff, cause your at
'ome. We are 'unting for Jensen on a North Pole Expedition.
We won't be home for three years yet--" Charley seems very
happy and he got a most hearty welcome. I shall follow him
over. I do not think I shall go when he does as that would
mean seeing people and getting settled and I must get the
Greek war done by the 12th of July and the Jubilee by the 15th
of August. I know you will not mind, but I have been terribly
interrupted by the Jubilee and by so many visitors. They are
running in all the time, so I shall try to get the Greek war
article done before I sail and also have a little peaceful
view of London.
