Summary
Analysis
Mrs. Glover tells Maurice and Pamela that their younger sister’s name is “Ursula” as she gives them breakfast. Bridget asks if Sylvie liked the snowdrop flower.
The shortness of this chapter mirrors the shortness of the previous chapter, and the quick succession of failed attempts that Ursula has to try to prevent her fateful contraction of the flu.
