Chapter nineteen focuses on the reunion of Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy during their journey to the boat. I think that the three of them, despite their separation, realize what they meant to each 
other so many years ago. Journeying together has reminded them of their friendship that they experienced so many years before. I think that for Ruth, the journey to the boat was really just an excuse to tell the others what she really wanted to say. It was very big of her to apologize for keeping Kathy and Tommy apart. She was very considerate and genuinely wanted them to be together. I think this reveals a characteristic of Ruth that readers may have over looked to this point. Ruth truly cares about her friends and wants them to be happy. We see that she truly trusts her friends and, despite their difference, wants nothing more than for them to be happy. We see in the above quote that Ruth knows her friends love her and she loves them. We see the return of the bond that the three of them had at Hailsham.
