Lady Harriet tries to redeem Molly's reputation and Cynthia has to face up to her past. With Tom Wilkinson and Angela Pleasence.
"You don't know him," said Cynthia, shaking her head. "If Mr Preston ever guessed that Roger and I were engaged, he would manage to be revenged on both him and me, by giving us as much pain as he could with those unlucky letters. They are like a mine under my feet, which may blow up any day; and down will come father and mother and all."
