    Summary

    “Whoever stitched you up initially—” Ralph raises his good hand. Alec’s expression flattens. “You know what I mean. They did a rotten job of it.”

    “So you’ve said, perhaps a dozen times.”

    “I’d quit having to remind you if you’d quit overdoing it.”

    “Am I overdoing it, or not doing enough? Never any middle ground, is there—”

    “Slow,” Alec says, his mouth round and purposeful around each vowel dropped low to doctoral warning, “down.”

    Summary

    "

    1st June, 1940

    2 ½. Alec says no muscles in fingers, so no muscle loss. Joke I think. Laughed but, didn’t cheer me up. Interesting, though.

    Pain at worst when trying to sleep. In head too, can hear it all. I know why they scream, now. No peace at night, got into habit of napping, will get out of it once back to normal. Doctor says, two or three weeks.

    Lost ship, all other diaries, independence. Found him. Will write, I think. No promises.

    "

     

    Ralph's diary entries following Dunkirk. (From June until November, 1940)
