It is early Autumn in the year 1916.

Bruce Ottley, having gone to America to escape the Zeppelins and to live with Madame Frabelle, has returned to England.

Though divorced from Edith he is still residing in the spare room of the very concise house in Sloane Street, Knightsbridge. He has been attempting to convince Edith that everything should and can be exactly as it was before.

Much to the dismay of Aylmer.
