ABSTRACT

When Gustav and author arrived at Dover they had to deliver Trixi to the health authorities. Trixi was taken to a veterinary surgeon that had a kennel for 'holiday dogs', a few miles from Cambridge. In London, Gustav and author met Hedi and the two Heller girls. On arrival in Cambridge, they had a rather frightening reception. On all the big hoardings was written in large letters: 'The Man Born to be hanged'! But soon they found out that it did not refer to author, and that it was quite harmless: the title of a cinema film, made from a crime novel. Many Cambridge families took refugees into their houses until they found some home of their own. The author came to, Chaucer Road, the home of Professor Robert Hutton and his wife Sybil, a daughter of the physicist Schuster. The Huttons offered them the kindest hospitality and taught the elements of the art of living in Cambridge society.
