five months have passed..ellen's stammer disappeared,and she's now receiving home tutoring by gertie because the nearest school is on the other side of the village....ellen enjoyed her time during the spring and spent hours roaming in the woods.
hilda was glad to see her daughter happy,yet she till hated living in isolation. she kept intouch with mable and was shocked by the news that mable's house was bombed too. mable,lucky enough found hersel a flat in clapham away from the bombing.
hilda misses her husband and is so worried about him because she hadn't heard from him since a very long while...gertie's father was a religious man ; hilda shuddered remembering her childhood fear and awe of that man.
hilda asks gertie to take her t the village to see whether there were any news about doug. at first gertie didn't want to go but then after she saw how earnestly hilda wanted to go ,she agreed to take her. and indeed they took ellen and headed off to the village. as soon as the arrived at the village, hilda rushed into the general store-cum-postoffice, but , unfortunately, the elderly postmistress told her that there was no mail for her .hilda felt so disappointed... she buys so stuff.. chats with mrs. brandon...it seems that gertie doesn't like the local people and hates chatting with them , claiming that they are only after gossip!
when they were about to leave, a strange man on a motor bike ,stopped infront of them, and to their utter surprise, the stranger was no one but the only doug whom hilda was so freakingly worried about and feared were dead.
