Next day the Nazis invaded The Netherlands. It was a weird, unreal world in which Audrey, the gay-grave dreamer of fairy tales, found herself: a world where terror lurked in every shadow and neighbors could disappear overnight.

Audrey's cousin, an adjutant at the royal court, was also executed...

He will stand for House committee election and play House sports without the assumption that he is at the bottom of his class. Grouping Claverly residents by Houses will also aid this adjustment, for they will be bona-fide House members...
...century ago, warm-weather designs were becoming so scant that an ananymous writer commented, "Give feminine fashions time enough and they will starve all the moths to death." Apparently, they haven't had enough time, and the moth is far from extinction. For a while, bathing suits threatened to disappear under the French influence, but they are once again coming into use as an article of clothing. Dresses, suits, and blouses are not spare of material, either...
