Royal Sisters Quotes

“constant bombardments, the destruction, the ever-presence of danger and death had now become a way of life. England carried on bravely, and in London “very few people bothered about going to shelters.... One could see more and more people around ... the streets.... At night everywhere was packed, and the town seemed overcrowded, gay and full of atmosphere and intense living,” wrote the former Hélène Foufounis, a good friend of Philip’s. “Nothing stopped. The traffic went on full swing.... Even five o’clock in the morning the tubes and shelters may have been full, but so were the streets and restaurants and the night spots.... It was as if everybody wanted to be with everybody else, as if every minute in the present was terribly important, and the future ... became very vague, hazy and unreal.” Hélène”
