Book excerpt: Excerpt from In a College Garden The private soldier, when he returns home, will expect greater thrift and better cooking than he has hitherto exacted from his wife. During his sojourn in France he has learnt to appreciate the Frenchwoman's careful housekeeping. He knows how cleverly, with a few broken sticks, she can kindle a fire which enables her to cook a dinner for him that a king would not despise. It is not that she uses more or better ingredients than the Englishwoman, but centuries of careful saving and thoughtful consideration in making the most out of very little have taught her how to be a good manager. War has been brought often near to the homes of French people; they, like the Belgians, have realised the devastation that comes with it, and consequently women, in both these countries, have learnt a degree of resourcefulness and industry which is lacking in our village people.
