Chapter 126
In this chapter, Polly recovers in the hospital after a bombing incident and investigates the interconnected events involving Alf and Binnie, two foster children whose actions inadvertently influenced key moments in the war. Through conversations with Eileen, Mr. Dunworthy, and the children, Polly pieces together a complex web of cause and effect, suggesting that seemingly minor actions contributed to significant wartime outcomes, reinforcing the idea of a larger, interconnected plan or fate.
