A young woman next me was a servant temporarily out of place. An amusing scene took place. Another young woman came in and spoke to her before going to her cubicle. Evidently there was some animosity between them, for the only greeting she got was, "Shut up." Finding she could make no impression, the newcomer began to insinuate.
"I wouldn't stand with the Army and then go into public-houses!"
The other girl at first made no reply, except, "Get out with you!"
But as the insinuation was repeated, she began to get wroth.
"Why don't you speak to me, Mary?"
She half sat up in bed.
"Get out with you, you——"
Then they began to slang one another in earnest:—
"It's all very well to go to an Army meeting and then take two men into a pub!"
