...three letterpress machines for printing headings and circulars. . . . When war broke out he joined the Fire Service as a volunteer for service after business hours, for which of course he receives no remuneration. Business became very bad, and the worry of trying to make ends meet plus all-night work fighting fires made him thinner and paler than before. He managed to pick up a few jobs which enabled him to keep the plant going although he told me that his average earnings for many weeks amounted to three shillings (60?).

Rosemary traditions are equally exact, equally supervised by Miss Ruutz-Rees. Most hilarious is the semiannual all-night feast. Rosemary teachers conduct classes and even lunch in academic gowns, address students by last names. Rosemary's chapel is an exquisite early-English-style structure, some of whose stones were lovingly laid in place by Rosemarians themselves.

...Henry, who in the war's first week made a lugubrious speech regretting that concerts must end and hoping "that we shall soon meet again," last week extended a Promenade Concert (no seats) into an all-night show while German bombers ranged overhead. After the regular program (which, significantly, was devoted entirely to the works of that most Ger man of the Germans, Richard Wagner), Sir Henry led the audience in community singing; then members of the orchestra did solos until they ran out of numbers; finally musicians from the audience took over the stage. Among those who stayed...
