Chapter 37 Summary

Lucien arrives to tell Charlotte that Ruby has been arrested. Charlotte is terrified and confesses that Ruby is pregnant. They both know that the pregnancy means that if Ruby is sent to the work camp, she will be killed. Lucien invites Charlotte to come and stay with him.

After some investigating, Lucien learns that Ruby has been moved to another prison, and that she may have been betrayed by a fellow Resistance member. Laure has also been apprehended.

Chapter 38 Summary

Thomas returns home and is ordered to take two weeks’ holiday. He goes to visit Harry’s mother but leaves when he sees that he compounds her grief for her lost son. When he returns, his officer tells him that he can no longer fly over Europe, as he has sensitive information about the escape line. When Thomas protests, the officer figures out that he met a girl along his journey.

Thomas is sent to a mission in Morocco instead. He spends the next few weeks delivering aircraft, a safe but tiring job. He soon hears about an Allied invasion that turns the tide of the war. Thomas continues training new pilots for the war’s final days.
