Description
Venus Crossley's personal journal.
 * 9th July 1918
 * I spent the last day and night crying... crying tears of joy! I did not know bliss could be so
 * painful: my Clarence just wrote me. He is back form the war alive and unharmed. He will
 * be at home in two weeks Thank you. God! Thank you so much! I can't want to see my
 * beloved husband again!
 * 14th August 1918
 * Clarence's attitude still worries me. He is not the same since he came back. The first few
 * weeks. I thought it was just the necessary adjustment period but his behaviour seem to
 * be more and more erratic. Nowadays, he spends all his time outside, day and night,
 * searching for evidence. He does not care about the flu. He does not care about me. He
 * is starting to frighten me.
 * 21st September 1918
 * I can't believe this... Clarence has spent half of his pension to print some stupid leaflets
 * he now wants to feely give away in the neighbourhood. People are starting to laugh at
 * me. Now he wants to organize some public lecture in a recently closed theatre, to warn
 * people about the presence of evil creatures in London. Free entry, of course. My
 * husband may have come back unharmed from the war, but I'm afraid he lost his mind
 * over there.
 * 24th September 1918
 * Clarence just confessed he has not spent half of his pension but all of it, plus some of
 * out savings. Paper and inks costs so much because of the war, he said, but it is a cost we
 * must pay. People openly mock us now. I don't know what to do.
 * 5th October 1918
 * Today the butcher, Mr.Galway sent me the monthly fee and requested payment in full.
 * He also told me he now demands to be paid each time we buy some meat from his
 * shop. No more credit. The baker asked the same thing two days ago. First, I thought it
 * was a new policy because of the restrictions and the epidemic, but it seems my friends
 * still have financial arrangements from the same shop. I was so ashamed I could not
 * speak.
 * 8th October 1918
 * We can't keep on like this. Clarence is completely mad. He is spending all the money we
 * have, and I don't see how to stop him. Sometimes I wish... I wish he did not come back
 * from the war.
