Dora Talks About Her Dream About A Tent In The Desert

 
Dear Readers,
Even in my dreams I see that tent in the Syrian Desert where Edward lived from 1916 to 1918 when he was riding with Lawrence of Arabia during the Great War. The flap is always part way open. I approach on silent feet. But it always closes before I get there, and I can never peer inside.

I am left to wonder what went on inside that tent between my husband and Helga von Wessel, then called Fatinah, Mohamed's wife. Is this where Leopold was really conceived? How often did Helga have to wriggle underneath Edward on his cot to accomplish that? Perhaps I shall never know. It shall haunt me always.

Sincerely  yours,

Dora, Lady Ware
