Mrs.Shabana please please , im begging, please dont leave us...why us?!
I swear I've never loved and enjoyed english classes like i do this year , please dont take away the one thing that i cherish and love about this school away from me...actually all of us!
I couldn't be more sincere in my letter/post...the news of you not teaching us anymore was almost as bad as mrs.abeer's death. ( ofcourse im not saying you are dead or anything...god forbids)
We have nothing against mrs.malakeh but its just that we want...no, NEED you!
I am saying this from the bottom of my heart, you are the best and most fun english teacher,actually teacher, that has ever walked in my class...
God! I couldn't find any more words to express myself ...I have never been more aggravated

As the story begins, there is war in London where the story mainly takes place.
Hilda is the main character and her 10-year old daughter Ellen.Hilda's parents are killed from the bombings of the war ; she was caught off guard and was seriously devasted because her husband was at war, her parents are now gone and Ellen is all she got left;however, she has to stay strong for her daughter...
She sends her friend Gertie a message asking if Ellen could stay at her place until London is peaceful again.
They stay at Mabel's house waiting for a reply. She vents out to Mabel a little bit and tries her best to show her tears to her daughter. Hilda decides to go with her daughter becuase she realizes that she cant stay away from her.
Gertie replied saying that she would be glad and honored to have them stay over. She welcomes them at Somerset and takes them to her farm house ( lives in the country).
They feel comfortable and cozy there, the only thing that made them feel weird was Gertie's trousers.
Now they just await as London is safe again...
