- Georgina and her cohort throw a bacchanal at Eaton Place, with tragic consequences.
- Georgina continues to have many admirers and seems to go from party to party with a bevy of young men following her every move. One in particular, Robin Eliott, is particularly keen on her though Georgina doesn't quite reciprocate his ardent feelings for her. With Richard and Virginia away, Georgina convinces James to let her throw a party at 165 Eaton Place. It proves to be something of a wild party, where guests bring a bottle of liquor or wine to gain admittance - something that shocks the staid Hudson - and where some of the costumes being worn are more than revealing. When in a quiet moment Robin presses Georgina to marry him, she makes it quite clear that she simply wants to have fun and make up for the years she has lost. She is not ready for the outcome of her rejection. Meanwhile the new governess, Miss Treadwell, arrives in the midst of the partying and its aftermath.—garykmcd
- In a frenzy to forget her traumatic war experience, Georgina goes from party to party, all over London, arriving home at all hours. With the Viscount and her Ladyship abroad, Georgina asks James' permission to hold a costume party at Eaton Place. James consents, and the staff prepare for an evening of entertaining that would have been unthinkable before the war. An unemployed and mentally unstable young man, Robin Eliott, professes his great love for Georgina and wants to marry her. She tells him that she's not ready to commit to any man. She's lost four years of her youth to the war and she wants to enjoy herself and indulge her every whim. He threatens that he will kill himself, but she dismisses his melodramatic talk. Hudson is speechless at scantily clad guests wandering around the house and Miss Treadwell, newly engaged governess for the Hamilton children, arrives amid the revelry. She is introduced to the children and retires to her room for the night. Within minutes, she hears a gunshot and finds young Robin outside of her room, dead, his revolver at his side. James is summoned and Georgina gets a glimpse of her lifeless admirer. She goes to her room quite calmly. The staff tread very lightly the next morning, trying their best not to disturb her. However, she's in good spirits and fully dressed. She tells Daisy and Rose that she has a full day planned and will be home that evening to change for another round of soirées.—gaelicguy
