In Chancery

Overview

Eight more years pass, during which Helene dies and June, now financially independent, strikes out on her own. Monty continues his profligate ways, stealing Winifred’s pearls and sailing for Buenos Aires with a Brazilian dancer. On the advice of her brother Soames, Winifred begins divorce proceedings, regretting that the scandal may affect her son Val, now at Oxford. Young Jo’s daughter, Holly, meets Val, and an attraction is sparked. Meanwhile, Soames meets Annette, a young French woman who would welcome a wealthy husband. Determined to remarry and have a son, Soames seeks out Irene, looking for grounds for divorce.
