- James returns to England, with new found vigor and untold wealth, on the eve of the October 1929 stock market crash.
- It's October 1929 and James Bellamy returns to 165 Eaton Place after a two year absence in America. He's made a killing on the stock market and returns with wonderful gifts for everyone. In addition, he tells Georgina that he will pay for her wedding to Lord Stockbridge and for their honeymoon. Even Rose gets a bit of the itch to invest and asks James to help her invest the £1200 her late fiancé had left her. It all begins to go sour however when James learns too late of the Wall Street stock market crash and he loses everything. He had borrowed heavily to invest and now finds himself in debt beyond anything that is recoverable. Rose has also lost her nest egg and is now not only trapped in her job but feels that she has lost the last connection to her lost loved one. When Lord Bellamy hears that James invested Rose's money they have a frightful row, perhaps the worse they have ever had in their always difficult relationship. For James, there can be only one way out of the predicament he finds himself in.—garykmcd
- James returns to Eaton Place after his two-year trip to America. He's very animated and also, very wealthy. At dinner, he tells his father, Virginia and Georgina about the investments he's made on Wall Street that have proved to be very wise and lucrative. All of this talk of money reaches the servants' hall and Rose approaches James with some inquiries. She'd like to take the money her late fiancée, Gregory, had left her and invest it. James assures her that it's safe and a very sound decision and persuades her to invest the entire amount.—gaelicguy
