'I keep reading and reading the news, and I can't make out why I'm not more excited. I mean, it's so marvelous, really, isn't it? But I kind of feel I can't believe in it any more - after all these years I can't believe it can ever really finish. I think the other girls feel the same; they all say: Wouldn't it be lovely, but it can't be true.'
