Before they leave, the boy's grandma buys him two white mice, which he names William and Mary. They book two rooms at the Hotel Magnificent in Bournemouth. The doctor suggests that instead of going to Norway, the boy and his grandmother go to the south coast of England.
His grandmother gets better over the next week but the doctor still stays that she is not strong enough to travel back to Norway for the summer. Finally, after about ten days, the boy is allowed in to see his grandmother. She must stay in bed and the boy is not allowed to see her because she is too sick.
However, just three weeks before summer break, the grandmother gets very sick with pneumonia. She and her brother used to go out all day in a boat fishing and visiting small islands. He and his grandmother plan to return to Norway in the summer and stay in a cabin on the coast, like she and her family used to when she was young. The boy attends school in England through the spring and into the summer.
