1. Chapter 1 by A M Richardson [Reviews - 0] (1867 words)
The quote on Janet's headstone was said by Edith Cavell, a dedicated nurse who worked on the front line during the World War before we all knew better to start numbering them. She was captured and shot by firing squad, but her faith and devotion to duty were unshaken, and Nurse Cavell's last words are testament to this:

"Standing as I do in the face of God and eternity, I realize that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness toward anyone."

I fancy she was Janet Fraiser's childhood heroine.

And Janet's many friends, both imaginary and real, will miss her very much.
