"Number Five," he confirms without any further explanation. While she doesn't appear to know it, the way she repeats the year makes him watch her all the more carefully. That she would be the one to bring up time is interesting, and he tries to commit what she said to memory until he can write it down. Winnie, England, 1888. What was going on in 1888? He'll have to dwell on it later.
"I'm not surprised. People rarely know their own significance." Which is maybe telling, but he's also deeply confused about when and where they are now. He hasn't been able to place it. But since Winnie seems to have done better work at interviewing a few of them, he takes a shot and asks: "What was the latest year you heard?"
He isn't interested in filling in the blanks for her, especially not when that old familiar dread is creeping on him. As chaotic as their escape had been, he hadn't had a chance to search for the others. He's used to being the one to get all the attention, but he can't assume that means they all made it back without him.
