All my love

Signed Noël

THE WEEKS DRAGGED BY with nothing to show for their efforts that Noël could see. The Germans continued to advance—Norway, Denmark, with Holland and Belgium clearly in their sights. Chamberlain continued to see the silver lining in this blackest of storm clouds. Mr. Hitler had “missed the boat,” he cheerfully claimed.

All of which made Noël fretful that he was not doing more to help his country. To him one thing was abundantly clear: the phoney war was now most definitely over. By March, Sir Campbell observed his protege and had a distinct feeling of “the frenzied beating of wings.” He suggested—to Noël's pleased surprise—that Noël take a six-week sabbatical, go to the United States and report back on the sentiment toward the war he found there. How strong was the isolationist movement, for instance? Which important people were saying what and to whom? Noël began to pack his bags and wrote to Violet:

March 30th

I am very gay and excited because I am going to America for a month sailing on April 20th in a nice safe American boat! I have been given six weeks leave to arrange my business affairs! (I will explain the real story to you verbally when I come home in about two weeks time!)
