Maddie realised she knew most of the ladies in the room by name and face, if not personally, and she was fairly sure there were no immediate threats in their midst -not from most of the ladies at least. There were two she didn't know - a gentleman and another woman some years older than herself, but both had the bearing of ministry types -so probably nothing to fear there. It was distressing to hear that they were sealed in, it probably meatn aparating would be a bad idea -likely to result in splinching or worse.

It was the best suggestion she could come up with given the space, and the objects she could see from her crowded vantage point such as it was.
