Synopsis

As reports of the war's initial atrocities in Belgium reached England, men flocked to enlist, while Rose, Delphine, and Lady Mae orchestrated a special chocolate sale to benefit refugees – a venture that proved immensely popular within the store and deeply moved Miss Mardle. Thackeray harbored suspicions about Henri’s intentions, Victor confronted a family crisis, and Loxley initiated his clandestine schemes for financial gain.
