She didn’t get much chance to enjoy the facilities, and it was a very busy day as she drove various officers, and even civilians, from one meeting to another. By six o’clock she was tired and hungry as she brought the major general back to the HQ.

‘You won’t be needed again today,’ he told her. ‘You can return to Aldershot.’

‘Yes, sir. Will Colonel Hammond be returning with me?’

‘No, he’s staying the night.’ He started to walk away, then turned back to her. ‘You have performed your duties well today. You know your way around London.’

‘Thank you, sir. I was born and bred here.’

He studied her intently for a moment, and with a slight nod of his head, he walked away.

‘You’ve impressed him,’ the soldier on duty told her. ‘And he isn’t easily pleased. He got rid of two drivers because they didn’t come up to his expectations.’

She rotated her stiff shoulders. ‘It’s nice to know he’s happy with the way I do the job. Can I get a cup of tea and something to eat before I head back to camp?’

‘Just go and help yourself. You know where it is.’

With her hunger satisfied and feeling more relaxed she headed out of London. She hadn’t seen David at all during the long day, and it seemed lonely to have an empty car. She’d certainly had an assortment of interesting passengers, but as much as she’d enjoyed the day, it was good to be going back to camp. She was looking forward to having a beer and a laugh with her friends.
