By September, though, after four months, Virginia considered staying in Madrid a waste of time. Meeting the “nephews” had reawakened her thoughts of France, as she told F Section in a letter. “I have had the luck to find two of my very own boys here and send them on to you. They want me to go back [to France] with them because we worked together before and our team work is good . . . I suggest I go back as their radio [operator].”

What was the sense of remaining in Madrid when there was so much to be done in France? Her letter continued, “When I came out here, I thought that I would be able to help F Section people, but I don’t and can’t . . . I am simply living pleasantly and wasting time. After all,” she added, “my neck is my own,” and she was “willing to get a crick in it because there is a war on.”

Buckmaster was firm in his response: “I know you could learn radio in no time; I know the boys would love to have you in the field; I know all about all the things you could do, and it is only because I honestly believe that the Gestapo would also know it in about a fortnight that I say no.” He warned her that it would be impossible to “escape detention for more than a few days,” claiming that “what was previously a picnic, comparatively speaking, is now real war.”
