Elaine finally left the river and headed toward her home. As she approached she saw some British soldiers knocking at their door. She ran in through the back to tell her mother and she was promptly told to go answer it. She opened the door and it revealed three soldiers, two officers and one other soldier. She eyed them up and down for a moment, their faces expressionless.<br/><br/>"Can I help you?" Her mother finally arrived behind her as she asked the question so Elaine let her mother in front and she stood back a little and waited. She didn't like the officers much, they seemed old but the younger soldier he had the same attitude but she liked the way he looked. When she finished examining them she looked back up to see if they were going to answer the question.
