Martin is still in Portwenn, on his own, but is starting to think his time there is coming to an end. He still
has to deal with his phobia, but is trying his best to overcome it. When Aunt Joan's friend has an
accident, Martin realizes that he is still a better surgeon than the old friend, Edith Montgomery, who is
treating her. Edith was once a girlfriend and she seems to have rekindled an interest in him. With the
possibility of a return to London on his mind, he also treats Clive Tishell who is very hard of hearing and
insists his deafness is permanent. Martin has a shock however when Louisa shows up at his door with
some special - and somewhat obvious - news.
