Mrs Ramsay opens the door to the frantic knocking with a heart full of dread. No one brings good news to her door these days, and the desperation of that knock...

News that the dear Captain has passed seems the most likely, and it's that which she steels herself for as she opens the door. To Sergeant Drake.

"Sergeant?" she gasps before pulling him to her, mindless of his words as she hugs him tight, dragging him in off the street lest he turn and walk away again. "Oh, your Captain, he said... none of us believed him but look at you here, alive and well! Oh, Bennet!" And she hugs him tighter still.
