"I'll wait for you was elemental. It was the reason he had survived. It was the ordinary way of saying she would refuse all other men. Only you. Come back."
This shows the love of Robbie and Cecilia. Even though everything has kept them from being together, they still love each other and will come back to see each other. The words "come back" are a motif. Cecilia use to use them for when her baby sister had nightmares, but now she uses the words for Robbie to come back to England from the war in France. It shows that Cecilias "alliance" or connection has moved from her families and Brionys to Robbies.
Is the word elemental also used repeatedly? Is it something that Ian makes mention to repeatedly? What is the nature of this word?
