   “At Liverpool Street Station they got out and were divided into different square patches, each one marked with capital letter signs. They were supposed to wait there until someone asked for them. They were given bags with sandwiches and a piece of very strange cake. All of a sudden, Karl’s name was called. (...) He was brought to the Ramsgate train and stowed on board with his luggage, then Mr Selig said, ‘Good luck, goodbye,’ and as the train pulled away, Karl was completely on his own for the very first time in his life.”*
