Description
"Excerpt from Pat Crowe, Aviator: Skylark Views and Letters From France, Including the Story of "Jacqueline"
This is a note of abject apology for the fact that I should have preferred to read anything while you stood beside me with that story of Crowe''s about The Most Beautiful Girl in France. It is the prettiest thing I''ve seen out of this war a classic a gem of purest ray serene a delight and a joy in every line, the kind of thing that makes a poor devil, aged before his time by having to plow through acres of copy, leap to his feet and chortle and gurgle and say prayers for the continued health of the right hand and brain and heart of Mr. Pat Crowe of our Air Forces. So, is that apology enough? To think that I might have sat and reveled over that gem with you and yet, for sooth, I told you that I had to read Other Things First! I have just had myself measured for a suit of sackcloth and sent the boy down for an ash can. In sheer delight.
