In this scene Mavis wrestles with belief in her lover Jas Morgan's guilt as her father threatens to expose her if she does not marry him. He warns that Morgan will reveal troubling evidence to the police and a murder inquest could force her to testify. The girl finally agrees to marry Morgan to appease her father, then contemplates suicide as tears flow.

Mrs Barbury probes Villagers for clues in the murder case. Susan Hever recalls seeing Sir Anthony at the time, while Michael Hever and others withhold information.
