Norah Baring

[During the Second World War, she lived in a small village in Wales and, along with her mother, took care of 20 evacuee children] "Of course, I am fully occupied during the whole of the day, and sometimes at night. Mother and I wade through an amazing amount of sewing, darning, and frock-making. Bathing them all is quite a water gymkhana. I take them all to school daily, and though my few trips through the village surrounded by such a large drove caused me a little embarrassment, I really enjoy doing it now."
