Miss Allen and Miss Marsden arrive in the early evening, and the group reports. Miss Allen, whose sympathies are rather far from the anarchists’, fulminates about “amateurs”.

Gertrude tries to cure whatever it is that happened to Audrey, but succeeds at the cost of raising an irritation on her neck – which she is at least able to deal with.

Woolwich Arsenal is the other major site in London with lots of explosives (there are dozens of gas holders, coal piles for private power stations, and so on), and the group goes over there at about eleven o’clock; there’s clearly more effort being put into guarding it than usual. Bessie sets up watching the main gate, though there are plenty of other ways in; Audrey watches from a roof, and Gertrude is across the river watching the waterfront.
