“The very old lady in black looked up at a notice over the window: TO STOP THE TRAIN PULL DOWN THE CHAIN PENALTY FOR IMPROPER USE, FIVE POUNDS. She smiled the gentlest, sweetest smile. "All my life I have been afraid that one day the temptation would prove too much for me," she said. "Don't suppose there's anyone who doesn't feel like that, ma'am," said the soldier, grinning.” GermanyWorld War 2BrothersTrainsConstance SaveryEnemy BrothersGreat Britian Book:Enemy Brothers Source: Enemy Brothers
“And at the end of the evening he and Dym had made plans, airy ambitious plans, of all that they would do after the war.

“Blake's song isn't really a song for England alone," said Dym. "It's a song for every land. We're all building the unseen Jerusalem together.
