Dora Complains That Ali Is Following Her Back To Bryn Mawr
Dear Readers:
Edward wrote me that he is being awarded the Victoria Cross. My father looked it up in the Encyclopedia Britannica. It is the highest military award that England gives its soldiers. The medal is being given to all the soldiers who survived the Battle of Gallipoli.
Now that I have heard from him I can return to Bryn Mawr College for the fall semester, 1915, the first semester of my senior year. But when we drove Route 30 all the way from Pittsburgh to Eastern Pennsylvania, we soon discovered that Ali was tailing us. He kept on bumping into the back of our car. Then when we stopped at Old Bedford Village at the auto court there, he stole my purse. He followed me into a pretzel shop. While my mother was ordering pretzels with mustard for my father for dinner, Ali asked me where "it" was.
The girl behind the counter told her father about the foreigner harassing the customers in the shop. Ali sneaked away. But some of the men started picking on Eastern Europeans. My father said it was something when World War I had spread to rural Pennsylvania.
Sincerely yours,
Dora Benley
P.S. How did Ali, whom I first saw on the Lusitania, find out where I lived? How did he find me the Pennsylvania countryside?
