On 3 September the peace and quiet in the sanatorium was disrupted for the first time since Cady's arrival.
At one in the afternoon, when she happened to be listening to the news on her earphones, she was horrified to hear the ANP1 begin its broadcast by reading Chamberlain's declaration of war on Germany. Cady had never been interested in politics, which is not surprising for a fourteen-year-old girl, and she wasn't the least bit moved by events taking place in faraway places. But she vaguely suspected that this declaration of war was somehow going to affect her too. When the rest hour was over, the nurse handed out the tea and told the other patients the news.
