In spite of Elsbeth's former renunciation, the girls discover their feelings for each other are as deep as ever.Davy Brown, now a policeman in York, is still in love with Alice, though shocked by what he, and society, must condemn as her unnatural inclinations.Against the unfolding of preparations for the greatest maritime invasion in history, the private story of all of them moves towards its own dramatic and tragic conclusion.
