Calypso, however, is impressed and asks him to be her child's god-parent. She has a letter from Hector, on war service in North Africa where he has met Oliver, now also an officer. Both men got on surprisingly well and Hector announces that he wants to plant trees on his return. Soon after though comes news that he is missing in action.
