Dennis is out on the veranda, he paces to and fro with impatience, as he listens to the groans being emitted from Sita inside the room. Dennis is already the proud father of two girls linel and Tina, so he hopes for a boy this time. A loud wail signals the arrival of his first-born son.Dennis is delighted with the new arrival. He has at last got an heir to leave his cows and donkeys to. The Baby is aptly called Basil.

The British Government are also now advertising for railway workers, bus Conductors and general labourers. Dennis outlines his plan to Sita, he will immigrate to London aboard the Windrush or the S.S Ariga to create a new life for her and the children. Sita is taken aback, giving that she is pregnant again, she as also heard of the harsh winters. She eventually relents with the understanding that he will send for her at a later date ; they have never been apart before and Sita  prefers to bear the snow and ice to be reunited with her first love

It isn’t long before Dennis books Sita a cruise to London, the children are left with her mother Granny isadora. Basil assumes himself as the head of the
