 Word gets to Lady Marjorie and Richard that James is gambling, drinking heavily and running with the wrong crowd. What they don t know is that James is having an affair with their former parlor maid, Sarah. Sarah tells James that she is carrying his child and James is forced to visit Eaton Place to break the news to his parents. A plan is made: Sarah will stay out of sight, at the Southwold estate, during her confinement. Lady Marjorie is livid and stunned with Richard and family solicitor, Sir Geoffrey Dillon, when she s informed that James will be shipped to an Indian regiment -- at the behest of her father, Lord Southwold.
