We would have been getting hungrier and hungrier all this time if we had not had on hand a lot of staples, such as rice, pancake flour, Erbswurst, baked beans--all of which we hadn’t eaten from choice because of the warm weather. Each day we have thought, “Tomorrow we will have a feast.” Tonight we had supper with our neighbors, and I guess they suspected something because Ed offered to lend us $10, which, of course, Bill refused.
