They are the siblings Polly and Walter, free-spirited Calypso and Oliver, teen-aged veteran of the Spanish Civil War, in love with Calypso. All bar Richard anticipate another war, welcoming Jewish Austrian refugees Max Eistweiler, a concert violinist, and his wife Monika. Oliver returns with Helena to his parents' house in London, where they hear that war has been declared. They are joined by Polly, signing up for war work, Calypso and Paul and David, twin sons of Helena's local vicar. Helena returns to Cornwall after Sophy is traumatised. Whilst she says nothing she has accidentally caused the death of a man who exposed himself to her. Written by don @ minifie-1 See less
