Patsy was not expecting to still be in Nonnatus House the week the fog struck the United Kingdom. She couldn’t work her old routes, as they were already reassigned to the other midwives and nuns. She settled with helping prepare items the nuns and midwives needed for their routes.

Delia was still on Patsy’s mind more than ever. She managed to get her tasks done, but she was still bored.

Trixie approached Patsy. “My route’s very long today. Would you like to accompany me? I’d really like the company today.”

“Are you going past the hospital?”

Trixie nodded.

“I’m in.”
