- Roy Cronin: I suppose it is. And yet there's - I don't know - a certain amount of excitement about it too. Round the corner of every second, the fascination of the unknown. We're both facing it, this instance.”“Wish I could have seen the ballet. I'm sure it would have been a pleasant memory in the trenches.”
