Fanny enjoys Cedric's company, but she is happy leading a quiet life with her husband and 2 children... Polly and Boy decide to come back to England. She is pregnant and he is writing one of his snob books about an English duke, and they open up their modest estate, Silkins and go to live there. Fanny realises that Polly is no longer in love with Boy, that she soon became bored with him..and Davey tells her that Boy is now getting interested in boys rather than girls. Fanny is shocked, but is pleased to see Polly again. Lady Montdore has become a dropper in to her little house, and she does not have the toughness to snub her. Then Matt, the younger son of Lord Alconleigh runs away from school to go to fight in Spain on the Red side.
