Iris and Harry took their relationship a step further and slept with each other. He starts watching the ocean for a German invasion. She continues to deliver the post, and part of this job includes receiving telegrams. Emma is nervous for every telegram because she’s really nervous about her husband.
Emma continues to go to the post office to visit Iris often. She is constantly nervous that her husband is going to die. She writes a letter to him every single day and receives a letter from him every day as well. She knows as long as that is going on, he is okay.
Frankie continues to report the news from overseas. She met a very nice man from America one night when hiding out from a bomb. She sort of liked him, and they left the shelter together, and he got hit by a taxi and died instantly. The reader learns that this man is Emma’s husband, Dr. Will Fitch. She then gets a new assignment from her boss to figure out who is fleeing Germany, and why, and that will be her next news story. She goes to the train station and boards a train and begins interviewing everyone about why they’re leaving Germany. Many of them are going to America or other countries to get away from hard times. One specific man left because he was a Jew, and he was going to get persecuted for that. Frankie begins growing really close with a lot of these people and stories, and she has a hard time keeping her news reports strictly “news” and free of emotion.
