Much to the disappointment of the local girls it is announced that this year’s May Queen will be selected from the evacuee girls rather than from the girls who sing in the church choir (as is the norm). And much to Billy’s disappointment, he’s one of the twelve names on the list. The May Queen is chosen a week before May Day and Billy’s relief is two fold… it’s not going to be him but it is going to be Alice, the one girl who really deserves a moment in the limelight. However Billy is chosen as one of the May Queen’s four subjects which means he’s going to be a prominent part of the procession and crowning ceremony.
