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.
