Harolds Flight and Fannys Stand In Victorian Court
In Singlebridge, Harold White is acquitted of embezzlement after a tense police court hearing. Fanny Westbrook, torn between White and Blanchard, confronts him but remains steadfast in support of the accused. Blanchard exerts pressure, but Miss Harebell maneuvers behind the scenes to secure justice. Harold later defends Fanny, and Blanchard departs for Jamaica under Beauchamp’s arrangement, leaving Silas Westbrook to relish a hopeful reconciliation.
