“Test me all you want,’ Tessa declared. ‘But know this: I will not give up. I will fight and fight to take care of those I love. [...] this is my chance to protect them just as they protect me. Even now, I will fight to stop those who try to hurt the ones I love, those that try to hurt others the way they hurt me. And I am worthy of their love, because I’m enough as I am, and I believe in myself, too. Even though I’m nothing much, I can be a hero.”

One was to the effect the Germans had occupied Rangoon. …many villagers were openly discussing their coming flight to distant places of safety. Some hooligans, I had reason to believe, were planning to loot the Indian and Chinese shops and were storing large quantities of knives and spears in some caves in jungle places … One night I stood at the door of my house which overlooked the surrounding country and watched the outline of flames in various directions. The dome of heaven was splashed with a bloody glare as one burst of flame succeeded another. The night seemed to emphasise the feeling of universal unease … Captain Gribble”
