One day Mother comes hurrying down to the summer house and grabs Katie by the hand. Katie has no time to also grab Edward. Edward sits and watches as the planes buzz and whine overhead and bombs drop on London, including one that lands I the garden. When it all stops Edward falls asleep and dreams of Katie.

Th old lady introduces Edward to her granddaughter who is also called Katie. Edward is given a much needed bath before he and the new Katie have a tea party.
