At around five o'clock, Story and the others arrived outside the sanitarium, where Maggie was waiting for them. Phyllis and Anna watched through the window as she stepped forward and spoke to them.

"No," hissed Anna to Phyllis, glancing back and forth between Madeline and the window. "She's seen them!"

"Let's hope Maggie can persuade them to leave and then Mrs Steadman may relax. But be prepared to leave, quickly. We might have to follow her!" Phyllis whispers and then calls for the bill. She looks at the menu and calculates the cost of all the teas and sundries. "Goodness! That's all of this weeks luxuries gone!" She leaves the right money on the table.

Through the window, Phyllis could see Maggie lead the others around the side of the building, out of view. She paid for the meal and rose from the table with Anna as Madeline watched.

Phyllis slowly puts on her coat and walks out with Anna. Then she scuttles round the corner and then peers back at the cafe entrance.
"I do hope she doesn't use the rear entrance." She mutters to Anna. "What do we do if she comes out? Follow her? I can't see Maggie anywhere; she must have gone with the others."

Maggie walked back around to the front of the sanitarium and met Phyllis and Anna outside. "I've got them waiting outside the side entrance," she said, "where the ambulances come."

In the tea shop, Madeline watched them as she paid for her tea.

"Well done, Maggie. Hopefully Mrs Steadman didn't see them go in." Says Phyllis, glad to see her old friend.

"I'm worried about what to do when Mrs Steadman leaves though; I'm not sure I can keep up with these old legs. Perhaps you should ask some of the others to nip out and follow her when she leaves. I'm game to do it myself though if needs be." Phyllis is feeling bolstered, in more than one sense, by the copious tea she has just eaten.

"Aye, I'll go see," said Maggie, hustling back around the corner of the building.

"She's a good soul is our Maggie." Says Phyllis and then she keeps watch for Mrs Steadman.

Anna went inside the sanitarium, after which Madeline left the tea shop and began to walk away. Then Brook rounded the corner to the front of the sanitarium. With a wink to Phyllis, she began to follow Madeline.

"Oh dear, just one young gel on her own?" Phyllis watches with trepidation as Brook walks down the street.
"I'm sure Anna must be in good hands now all the men have arrived at the Sanitorium and that young gel may need some help.

Clutching her handbag, Phyllis starts to follow Brook despite what she had said earlier about sore legs.
