Answer: Olympic

The three ships that The White Star Line created to be the best ships on the ocean were the Olympic, the Titanic and the Britannic. Of course everyone knows what happened to the Titanic. The Britannic was completed just before the onset of World War I and was made into a hospital ship. Sadly the Britannic hit a land mine and followed her older sister to the bottom of the ocean.

The Olympic was the only ship of the three that did not sink, but many felt that the whole shipping line was cursed. The Olympic stayed in service for many, many years, until newer, faster ships forced the line to retire the great ship and sell her for scrap.

Although the Queen Mary was a ship, it is never mentioned in this book. The Paris is the ship that Edwina meets Patrick on their way to London.

Answer: He dreamed that she was on a ship again

George dreamed that Edwina was on a ship, which of course she was. The dream upset him so much that he woke Helen up and got her pregnant.

Answer: Sam Horowitz

Ben Jones is not mentioned often in the last part of the book. Patrick cannot be with Edwina because he is married and cannot divorce his wife. Malcolm Stone is not heard of again after Edwina and Patrick get Alexis from him in London. Sam tells her that he wants to be there for her and he would like her to be there for him. And finally she understood the reason her mother had died with Bert, because there was no greater love then Kate had for Bert, or Edwina had for the five children that she had raised, or that she might have for Sam and perhaps their children someday.
