Excerpt from Jiminy

Hold now, good reader. Here's no war story. Only a short prologue mixed into the dusty busi ness of demobilization.

She still looked the little school teacher, you would have said - had you not been too busy staring at the pier' 8 black mouth for some boy of your own. But how were you to know that she had committed the one great act of self-liberation: had taken the long gold chain, which is her craft's infallible badge, and thrust it down inside her shirt-waist? Or that the catch of it was jammed close to hold folded a letter which thus lay hidden and secure against her heart? It was the last that he had written before sailing; and in it was a plea, a promise, an honest pact, a flinging open of the door upon a wholly new life.
