In this chapter from 'All Clear,' Dunworthy travels back in time to St. Paul's Cathedral during the London Blitz in 1940. He navigates the dark, rain-soaked cathedral interior and surrounding streets, contending with disorientation, the risk of discovery by fire watch members, and the challenges of moving through a hazardous wartime environment. His goal is to find Polly and return safely, while grappling with the dangers of the blackout and wartime chaos.
