Pleasant to see superiority of billets over the hooter : that only emitted three blasts . 12.50 a.m. -- Billets returned with exception of Private Merited , who was retained for sake of his motor-bike . 9 a.m. -- On way to bath-room ran into Private Merited , who , looking very glum and sleepy , inquired whether I had a copy of the Exchange and Mart in the house . 10 p.m. -- Overheard billets discussing whether it was worth while removing boots before going to bed until the Zeppelin scare was over . Joined in discussion . May 2 . -- Rumours that the Inns of Court were going under canvas .
