The long journey from Bowling Green was over
The Joyces finally arrived in Zurich on 17 December 1940 exhausted after weeks of torturous negotiations with the German, Vichy-French and Swiss authorities. They had sought refuge in Switzerland during World War I, now they hoped to do so again.

Joyce hoped that once settled in Zurich he could use all the influence he could muster to have her follow them to safety.
