Summary
All day it had been like waiting for the whistle. For the order to go over the top and face the guns. That long, dull, terrifying wait when there was nothing to do but dread. The morning news on the radio had carried the story that Phryne had been reported missing in Jerusalem, then there had been silence. Jack had asked around, numb with fear, and found out from a friend at the Argus that there was an embargo on the news that had been put in place too late. Tom had speculated that it was so the family could be notified first, but all he’d been told was to sit on it until told otherwise. He’d spent all day praying for a miracle, for a cheerful “Aviatrix found safe and sound in a shisha cafe” or even a disapproving “The Honourable Phryne Fisher has been arrested in Jerusalem”, dreading the alternative.
Now the family had been notified.Jack's world ends when he's told that Phryne has been killed in Palestine. Then it gets weird when she cables to say that she's coming home immediately. Cables Mac, because she hasn't spoken to Jack since their last argument, after which she packed up her bags and went haring off to Europe to solve the first case that came to hand.

Summary
The telephone rang in Jack’s bedroom, and he paused to put a bookmark in place before he levered himself out of his chair and went to get it. He’d had a nice, if quiet, evening; a glass of the good whisky that Phryne had given him for his birthday, the first half of a new science fiction novel, a fire in the hearth and the prospect of an early night in a regrettably empty bed, A call at that time of night could only mean one thing, and even the prospect of an excuse to see Phryne no longer held an attraction now that he needed no excuse. He was, therefore, a little curt as he answered. “Robinson speaking. Who’s calling?”
“Oh, good evening, Inspector,” Dot Collins said, and he relaxed a little. “I’m sorry to bother you so late, but we wondered if Miss Fisher will be with us for breakfast, or if I should come and collect her for her dress fitting tomorrow?”
He frowned and shifted uncomfortably, letting the embarrassment of the situation tamp down the flare of concern. “I’m afraid she’s not here, Mrs Collins. She was gone by the time I got back from work."
