ok...sooo... the war didn't stop. more houses torn down and more booms of explosives. each time the bombardment raid was executed , hilda, ellen, and mable fled to mable's air raid shelter. hilda was still waiting to hear from gertie , becaue at that moment, she was concerned about ellen's safety more than ever for all she had left was the little child. she was looking up to a rehousing (finding a new accommodation), but wasn't successful enough because it seems like she wasn't the only one "sans house", thus, she had to wait with the employees words sinking in her mind...she thought that , perhaps, it would really be a good idea for her to go with her daughter to gertie's justn as the woman had suggested earlier. disappointed by the failure of her mission of being rehoused, hilda went back to mable's. both hilda and mable feared that the place they stayed in (mable's house) would , someday, be hit ,too. neither of them wanted to be homeless...then the two of them sat down discussing the issue of evacuating young ellen...and whether it were a good idea to send the girl to gertie's in particular, or not . mable then feels so depressed ,her eyes filled with tears after hearing that hilda were to leave too. mable felt so sad because both her husband and her kids have long been away...and now, her friend hilda was thinking of going to somerset and leaving her behind.
with the air raid siren suddenly wailing, the 2 women jumped to their feet and headed hurriedly to the shelter. hilda was so worried about her daughter for she was at school (away from hilda at that moment). after half an hour of tension , the all-clear sounded ,and the two of them headed back home and there they had some tea. hilda had a plenty on her mind ..her parents, daughter, gertie and somerset,and a lot more...an hour later ellen came back from school to relieve hilda's worrying and was carrying a letter from school. the letter's content (the closing of the school by the end of the month) sealed hilda's decision to get ellen away from there. hilda felt so sad for she had to leave london and her friends there , especially mable ,yet she made up her mind to leave because she knew it was for their own sake and that her daughter would be safer at somerset .....
