“The war did come, in mid-August, but quietly..
“Jim happened to be in Brisbane to buy developing paper and dry plates for Miss Harcourt and new boots for himself. By mid afternoon the news had passed from [“] mouth to mouth [“] all over the city and newsboys were soon crying it at street corners. War! War! It was already several days old, over there, in countries to which they were not linked, and now it had come here.
“Some people seemed elated, others stunned. The man at the photography shop, who was some sort of foreigner with a drooping moustache and a bald skull and side-tufts, shook his head as he prepared Jim’s parcel. ‘A bad business,’ he said, ‘a catastrophe. Madness.’
“Maybe, Jim thought, he had relatives there who would be involved.
“I’m a Swede,’ the man told him, Jim didn’t know why. He had never said anything like that before.
“But others were filled with excitement.
” ‘Imagine,’ a girl with very bright eyes said to him at the saddlers where he got his boots. ‘I reckon you’ll be joining up.’
“Why? he asked in a last moment of innocence. It hadn’t even occurred to him.
“The girl’s eyes hardened. ‘Well I would,’ she said fiercely, ‘if I was a man. I’d want to be in it. It’s an opportunity.’ She spoke passionately, bitterly even, but whether at his inadequacy or her own he couldn’t tell.
“When he stepped out of the shop with his new boots creaking and the old ones in a box under his arm he saw that the streets were, in fact, filled with an odd electricity, as if while he was inside, a quick storm had come up and equally swiftly passed, changing the sky and setting the pavements, the window panes, the flanks of passing vehicles in a new and more vivid light. they might have entered a different day, and he wondered if there really had been a change of weather or he only saw the change now because that girl had planted some seed of excitement in him whose sudden blooming here in the open air cast its own reflection on things. He felt panicky. It was as if the ground before him, that had only minutes ago stretched away to a clear future, had suddenly tilted in the direction of Europe, in the direction of events, and they were all now on a dangerous slope. That they were sliding. There was, in all this excitement, an alarming sense that they might be at the beginning of a stampede. ..
“He found it full of youths who would normally have been at work at this hour in government offices or insurance buildings or shops. They were shouting one another rounds, swaggering a little, swapping boasts, already a solid company or platoon, with a boldness that came from their suddenly being many; and all with their arms around one another’s shoulders, hanging on against the slope.
“When he went into the back for a piss, one of them, one of the loudest, was leaning with his head on his arm above the tiled wall of the urinal, his body at a forward angle. He seemed to have been like that for a long time.
” ‘Are you alright?’ Jim enquired.
” ‘Yes, mate, I’m alright,’ the youth said mildly. He tilted himself upright, buttoned up and staggered away. Outside Jim saw him arguing with another fellow, his face very fierce, his fist hammering the other fellow in the upper arm with short hard jabs, the other laughing an pushing him off.
VVVtHIS LITTLE PAPER was done UP
.. He did this entering up at a particular time and in a particular frame of mind. He liked to have the lamp set just so, and chose a good pen and the best ink; bringing to the occasion his fullest attention; concentrating as he had on those long boring afternoons at the one teacher school when he had first, rather reluctantly and without at all knowing what it was to be for, learned to form the round, full-bodied letters; and adding with a flourish now the big F’s, the curled tails of the Q’s. He was proud of his work, and pleased when, each week, he was able to show Ashley what he had added.

When Ashley and Julia Bell were married at the end of the year Jim presented them with the first of the Books; not exactly as a wedding gift, but as a mark of the occasion. With it went the first of Miss Harcourt’s pictures.
