2. The setting of the main incident brings before you what part of the
Great War? Were any of your friends in that country? In the ambulance
service anywhere? Locate on the map the places named in the story.
3. Find in the story some of the dramatic, graphic scenes that John has
sketched for his uncle. See how well you can fill them out and express
them. Why would this story make a good play?
4. What three people does Mrs. Andrews make real and likable to you?
Does Uncle Bill conceal his real character? Of what other character in
this book does he remind you?
5. Some of you may be able to write a stirring story of the brave deed
of some real or imaginary ambulance driver for the Red Cross in Italy
or France during the Great War.
