Whilst Irene is not happy to see her ex-husband the youngsters hit it off and Fleur invites herself to stay with Dartie's son Val and his wife Holly, in the knowledge that Jon is learning agriculture at a nearby farm. Aware of the feud in their family they agree to keep their friendship a secret but Holly notices and tells her father, Jolyon. Soames attends a charity auction for war victims organized by aristocratic ex-soldier Michael Mont and the two men become friends due to a mutual love of art. Prosper Profond, a wealthy Armenian, acquaints himself with Montague Dartie through a shared interest in horse-racing, flirting with Winifred but also going on a date with Soames' wife Annette. Jolyon, having been told by his doctor that he has a heart condition and must not exert himself, tries to get Soames to stop Fleur from seeing Jon but to no avail.
