A Marriage at Sea Turns into a Tangle of Trials
Herbert and Grace wed aboard the Carthusian in a shipboard ceremony. After a voyage with mishaps including the wreck of the Spitfire, they reunite with Caudel and Captain Verrion before settling in Mounts Bay and Penzance. Grace meets relatives, and the legality of their marriage becomes a contested issue as Frank Howe questions its validity.
