Contents
- No family quarrel had influenced Francis' decision to run away to sea; he had been instinctively drawn towards the light and space of the ocean horizon as an escape from the oppressive atmosphere of the small rooms above the Hall stables and the inhibiting presence of his curiously withdrawn parents.
- It was to unchanged circumstances that Francis returned home six months later, with a firm conviction that some closely-guarded family secret explained much about his parents, but without the realisation that this might also have connections with his own wanderlust.
