CHAPTER THREE It was interesting the way in which I and my future husband finally met, although it seemed there had been several attempts by the ‘powers that be’ to bring this about. In the end we were introduced by a man, a man known to both of us, who said he had a strong conviction, a hunch, that he was meant to be the means of bringing us together. It just goes to show we should follow our hunches, or at least not discard them without due thought; and no one should count himself too insignificant to be a tool in the scheme of things. At one time I used to have a most depreciating attitude regarding my own abilities, having a tendency to listen to others—believing they knew the answers much better than I, and I suffered thereby. These days I realize I must stand or fall by my own beliefs and actions; thus I have gained a large measure of self-confidence. So the first time Carl and I came together was on a Satur- day, in September, and there was a mutual feeling that we had been together before. It was as though each of us had returned from a journey and were about to continue life where we had left off after having been away on our respective mis- sions. On that first day and in the days which followed I would find myself starting to say something . . . perhaps making a comment, or asking a question . . . and then I would halt to say, ‘But I have said that before,’ or ‘I have asked that question before.’ Where and when had we known each other? Since those days I believe I have become more enlightened on the subject and I have often wished I had possessed a little more of the knowledge and understanding which has been permitted me in 16
the interim. That was the first of many very pleasant interludes . . . when we walked or sat by the river, taking tea at one of the many open-air restaurants along the banks of the Thames near Lon- don. It was there we used to enjoy taking a boat and idling away an hour or so; and the time I fell overboard just appealed to Carl's keen sense of humor, though to me the incident was anything but amusing. Although at the time it seemed there was little, if any, choice the day we decided to go and live in Weybridge, we had made an unfortunate decision. It was not a harmonious locality for us and, in hindsight (a popular phrase since Watergate), we realized we had made a mistake. However, ‘needs must, when the devil drives!’, and one cannot live in London without work . . . or you couldn't in the days of which I write; but, judging from what one hears about welfare, unemployment benefits and various grants which are available . . . well, possibly it is possible to live there now without working. As with many people, the Second World War made a difference to our lives. The place where Carl was employed as Manager was unlucky enough to be bombed and so many changes had to be made. He went off from Knightsbridge one morning and when he reached Conduit Street he found the area barricaded off, no one being allowed inside. After ex- plaining his position to a police officer he was allowed to pass and continued on to the surgical appliance company's offices, which had received a direct hit from a bomb. When one brushes away the mists of memory one realizes what a terrible time we were living through. The apartment building (or block of flats we called it) where we lived also had a hit, and that gave me quite a fright. In my excitement I called out to Carl to ‘come here’ before the place collapsed; but he didn't come for what seemed minutes, in spite of my shaking the handle of the door behind which he was engaged in very private and personal business. That particular episode led to all the tenants being turned out of the building until the 17
