- Contexto
- We thought it was probably a Jap plane, and they were in the habit of swooping down and machine-gunning anybody, so, although it was a boiling hot day, I said to you children,’ Let’s play a game of tag round that heap of stones,’ thinking that at least we would not all get hit. I can remember Rachel looking at me with scorn and saying, Mummy, you must be mad, in this heat!’
