- Honey adjusts to living under May Bailey's roof while socializing with New Bedford bachelors.
- Honey is back in New Bedford, living in May's house with the boys, and working in the mine office under Bob's supervision. On the invitation of Honey's co-worker, Marjorie Behan, Honey joins Marjorie's informal social grouping of single friends. Not specifically looking for a new man in her life, Honey nonetheless attracts the attention of a couple of men. The one who seems to have her initial affections is Percy Ardley, a constable with the New Bedford Police Department. Percy is a proper Englishman with, to use Fat's description, a swelled head. Most of the men in the singles group, including Max and Archie, have the same impression of Percy as they don't much care for him. Marjorie, slightly jealous, warns Honey that if she is looking for a new husband, Percy is not the man for her as he is a wanderer, and as such is not stable as husband material. May and the rest of the Baileys aren't too happy with what they see as Honey's cavorting as they feel it is demeaning to the Bailey name and improper to the memory of Jack. It isn't until Hub and Fat get into a predicament with a crazed moonshiner, Old Bones, that Honey sees the pompous, arrogant side of Percy that others see. Perhaps the other man who is vying for Honey's attention, that being Max, might now have an opportunity with her. The fact that he broke the law for her to help save Hub and Fat is a point in his favor.—Huggo
