- After a calamitous harvest, starving locals ambush a grain ship, bringing down harsh punishments from Warleggan. Ross has cause to celebrate when his daughter Cowance is born. Caroline is also hopeful, following a letter suggesting that Dwight may be released from the grim French prison, where his medical skills are sorely tried and where he has befriended Hugh Armitage, whose life he saved. Things look bleaker for Morwenna when Warleggan, to further his social climbing, arranges her marriage to odious, widowed vicar Osborne Whitworth, the distant relative of an influential family. Morwenna, still in love with Drake, refuses. With Caroline and Demelza collecting donations from friendly worthies, Ross devises a way to help the starving villagers, outwitting Warleggan in the process, and is ready when Warleggan plans revenge.—don @ minifie-1
- George mercilessly deports hungry people to Australia for petty theft, partially caused by his machinations to raise the grain price. George also sacked 80 men from the near-exhausted mine he bought from Ross, who engages 30 to explore a supposed rich vain. Dwight remains in French captivity, with a lieutenant volunteer as medical apprentice while they get exhausted and starved, forced to see their weakest patient stabbed by a guard to win a bet, but Caroline is relieved to get word he's still alive. George orders cousin Morwenna Chynoweth to wed Godolphin kin reverend Ossie Whitworth, who haggles over a dowry above his gambling debts, but she refuses and is secretly delighted to be sent back with Geoffrey Charles to Ross's aunt Agatha, hence reunited with their Carne playmates and attend Methodist services. Carloine and Demelza set up a sting to lure even George into donating money to feed the starving.—KGF Vissers
