On the train to Bletchley, Ena told Mr Silcott everything that had happened on the day her work was stolen.

‘Some parts of the X-board would have been almost impossible to copy for anyone who didn’t know what they were doing. I can only think whoever stole it had worked on the same, or similar boards before – perhaps in another factory. But what really bothers me, what I still don’t understand,’ she confided, ‘is how the thieves were able to make an identical case to the ones we use. Well, perhaps it wasn’t identical, but it was good enough to pass as one of ours when it was signed in at Bletchley Park.’

‘They must have been watching you, Ena, sizing the case up.’

‘What, travelling on the same train as I did? On the occasions we didn’t take the work down by car? A bit of a coincidence, don’t you think?’ Mr Silcott nodded thoughtfully. ‘No,’ Ena said, ‘I’m convinced someone at Bletchley Park was in on it.’

‘The Commander mentioned something about that,’ Herbert Silcott said.

Ena bit her lip. ‘He wasn’t very happy at the suggestion. Did he tell you I had met an American in the buffet on Euston station?’ Mr Silcott nodded and smiled. ‘He was very kind to me. Of course, the Commander could only see a German spy who befriended me to turn me. That’s the phrase they use in popular spy thrillers, isn’t it?’

Ena sighed. ‘He invited me to tea today,’ she said, ‘when I finish at the Park. And no, before you ask, he doesn’t know I have anything to do with Bletchley Park. I stuck to the cover story. Anyway it doesn’t matter now. I wrote yesterday and said I couldn’t make it.’

‘That’s a shame, Ena,’ Mr Silcott said. ‘You spend so much time at work, and often on your own, being taken out for tea by a young man would be a nice treat. Still,’ he said, ‘if he’s a decent sort, he’ll invite you out again.’

Ena hoped he would. She also told Mr Silcott about Henry Green being in the room with Commander Dalton and the engineers, and how he had vouched for her to the commander. Mr Silcott knew Henry, as Ena’s family did. Henry’s father was the only butcher in Lowarth and he and Herbert Silcott regularly played golf together.
