While a fun-run for charity is taking place at Arlington Grange, Elizabeth Peacock's new fiancé, the dashing Count Henri de Beauchamp, is the centre of attention.

A local landowner comes up with a predictably unpopular scheme for filling in the Arlington village pond to build a night club on the site.
