Читать книгу We Were Young and at War: The first-hand story of young lives lived and lost in World War Two - Sarah Wallis - Страница 31

Yesterday I spent all day talking with two very nice English soldiers, laughing the whole time. Two lorries arrived at 5 o’clock this afternoon and I went to talk to them too (the four soldiers in them, not the lorries).

Oh I’d better finish off writing about yesterday. We had so much fun…I did something terrible, I hardly dare confess…I skipped school. It’s amazing how easy it is! I was so happy to miss Latin! I was sad when the soldiers left. But today’s ones! The first thing they did was invite me to come and sleep with them in their lorry and to go for a walk that night…To which I replied: ‘Don’t be stupid.’ They called me ‘Sweetheart’, etc. Luckily all the English soldiers are not like that, if they were I wouldn’t be able to enjoy my one source of entertainment in Verneuil.
