"NO GOOD MORNING”
MRS HOOK OPTIMISTIC. “There is nothing I can do. Certainly there would be no good in moping. I wish people wouldn’t offer me sympathy,” said Mrs Hook, when awaiting news from her missing avia-tor-husband in a pretty villa in West Wickham, where she lives with her daughters, aged four and a half and two and a half. “My husband and Matthews read the newspaper query, after Miss Amy Johnson’s flight, ‘Where’s British manhood?’ and determined, although inexperienced (my husband only having had a flying ticket for a month) to try to show that something could be done. I didn’t object, and wished him the best of luck.” Though Matthews has reached safety, it is feared that Hook is dead as he was in a desperate condition when the former had to push on for succour.
