Monday, 6 March, 1916
Breakfast at 9.30 again we were
reading the War news & waiting for
letters when we were told a carriage
from St Patricks had come for us
Rev. Mother sent in the Brougham 1
so we got a very comfortable lift to
the Convent & stayed till 4 oc with
Eileen & had lunch. Rev. Mother
insisted on sending the carriage with
us again to the train which left at
4 45. It was very cold in the train
which we were very glad to leave at
Kingsbridge & continue the journey
by train. Once more we were convinced
"there is no place like Home."
The War news continues favorable
the Germans are attacking still but
not making much headway.
Had a long letter from Marie, she
seems to be settled down again at
Malta.
Editorial Notes1A brougham was a light, four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage built in the 19th century.
