Nancy Mitford Part IV

Linda leaves her husband having fallen in love with Christian Talbot, a left wing but upper class man. Fanny worries that Linda has made a mistake again, as Christian, while a good man, is not interested in personal relationships and wont give Linda the love that she craves. Fanny enjoys Cedrics company, but she is happy leading a quiet life with her husband and 2 children... Then Polly and Boy decide to come back to England. She is pregnant and he is writing a book about an English duke, and they open up their house, Silkins and go to live there. Fanny realises that Polly is no longer in love with Boy, and Davey tells her that Boy is now getting interested in boys rather than girls. Fanny is shocked, but goes on with her life. 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.
