conversations.value: In time of war and national calamity, numbers of people seldom seen in church will suddenly turn to religion for consolation and inspiration - and perhaps more surprisingly, just as many turn to poetry. Never was the phenomenon more clearly marked than in that war we still know as the Great War. Hundreds of what came to be known as "the war poets" saw their work in print between 1914 and 1918; others - including some of the best - were not published until afterwards. That rather unsatisfactory label includes very different kinds of writers - Owen and Sassoon, with their poems of passionate indignation, are a far cry from Edward Thomas's bleak and oblique rural ruminations. In this collection the author has gathered some of the most moving and unforgettable poetry born out of the horror of the trenches. He includes brief accounts of the lives and work of 12 of the most powerful of those poets who experienced and wrote about the worst war the world has ever known.

  Sakari chuckled. "In India, it is very difficult for a woman to obtain education," she explained to the Jessups, "so while I am here, I do the best I can for myself and my daughter. Deva is at boarding school with Daisy's Belinda. Perhaps you have heard that we are to visit them this weekend?"
  The rest of the evening was spent discussing the rival merits of the Saffron Walden Museum and Bridge End Garden, with detours to the mediaeval maze on the common and the castle ruins.
  When her friends left, Daisy's thoughts returned to Alec's case and the possible connections between the three bodies. They were all buried in close proximity—not that she actually knew how close. A few feet, she assumed. All three were well-dressed, which did indeed seem to dispose of the East-End gang theory. And then there was the paper target, the three targets.
  Somewhere in the back of her mind, the targets rang a very faint bell. For some obscure reason, they made her think of Michael, her erstwhile fiancé, killed in the War while working with a Friends' Ambulance Unit.
  It was because Michael had been a Quaker that the notion of sending Belinda to a Quaker school had not seemed utterly outlandish to her, when Bel begged to go with her friends. She was happy there, and doing well at her lessons, so what more could one ask for?

  She told him about taking the girls out for an early meal, sending them back to school in time for their curfew, and dining at the Rose and Crown. "And then we had coffee in the residents' lounge."
  Melanie turned her outrage on Gant. "You suspect me of arranging a secret tryst with a man? You must be mad!"
  Meekly, Gant obeyed. He was obviously out of his depth. No wonder he had been taken off the "Epping Forest Massacre"; the wonder was that he had ever risen to the rank of inspector.

conversations.value: He laughed, and went on, "In a town not very far from the direct route from Hertford to Harwich. A telephone call to the local police told us he'd been a sergeant in the War. Later we found out from the school that he had not turned out to be an asset for a peaceable Quaker community. Besides the bullying, he fell short in other directions."
  Daisy wasn't thinking only about a week at the seaside with the babies—and Mrs. Gilpin, of course. She thought of Pencote, Tesler, and Miss Bascombe. She thought of the comparatively innocent victims: Sammy Rosworth; Halliday, slave to duty; Devine, living for so long with the boy's death on his conscience. She thought of Sammy's grieving father, and of the brutal Pelham and Harriman... On the whole, she considered, a kind of justice had been achieved, although, if they knew what she did, neither Alec nor his superintendent would agree.
  She sighed. "Yes, marvellous idea," she said. "On an island, with any luck, we should be safe from Mr. Crane!"
  During the First World War, 306 British and Commonwealth troops were executed by firing squad in the field for deserting their posts and for cowardice. Almost all were non-commissioned soldiers. (Officers in the same situation were diagnosed with shell-shock and sent to hospitals.) The youngest was sixteen years old. In 2006, all were granted pardons by the secretary of defence.
  Though Mr. Tesler is fictional, FSSW did have a history teacher, Stanley King Beer, who was imprisoned as a Conscientious Objector during WWI. He was a vegetarian, and as no allowance was made for this, he survived mostly on bread and his health was seriously undermined.
