I felt the difference, but tried to face the task with courageous faith. But I owed the substantial comfort of that tiny room under the shingles, through which peeped here and there pin-points of daylight, to the energy and initiative of the youngest member of our group, Dorothy Whipple. She it was who, seeing I was about to be exiled to sleep on the barn floor, used her influence with success to have an unused cot set up with sheets and a blanket in this unthought-of corner of the house, and with her own hands carried water and other appurtenances for the improvised bed-room.
