First Friends
“She was terribly touched by the latter—organised, of course, by the Captain’s wife—and was aware of the feeling of camaraderie that existed in these close-knit naval circles whilst feeling hurt that Mark had made no further effort to communicate. After all, she had told herself as she watched flowers and telegrams and husbands arriving for the other wives, I suppose there’s not much he can do when he’s nearly three thousand miles away. But at the back of her mind doubts lurked. If the Wardroom ...could arrange to have the flowers delivered to her, then so could Mark. Or he could have made some arrangement with his mother to buy some and left a letter with her to give to Kate after the birth. In her disappointment, she hinted as much to Mrs Webster who was obviously embarrassed by her son’s casual attitude although she hastened to Mark’s defence. Fortunately, there were several wives in the same situation which made her feel less lonely. Her parents had rushed up from Cornwall to see her and had rushed back again although Mrs Webster had pressed them to stay the night at the flat.MoreLess
