London—10 September 1940 Summary

It takes a few bus rides to get to London. When they arrive, Eileen tries to drop the Hodbins at their home first. Their mother isn't there and the landlady refuses to take them. They get back on the bus and head to Theodore's house. His mother has already left for the night shift at the factory, but the neighbor lets them into Theodore's house. The neighbor points out the Anderson is in the background, which is the shelter.

Eileen gets all of the kids ready for bed until the sirens go off. Then, she herds all of them into the shelter, which ends up being flooded. Eileen thinks that she should have knocked on the door and ran because then she would be home already.
