Part 6, Chapter 31 Summary

Lucy wakes the next morning and is upset when Jo sees Lucy and Faber in bed together. Faber insists that Lucy should not feel guilty. They dress and go downstairs for breakfast. Jo asks if his father is dead, and Faber denies it. Faber tells Lucy that she should not worry about what David thinks. Faber decides to go to Tom’s and retrieve David. When Faber is gone, Lucy decides to go for a walk to clear her head. While walking near the cliff, she spots an oilskin floating in the water. She sees that the oilskin is not empty. She goes to look closer, carrying Jo as she goes. When she is close enough, she can see the man is David. Realizing there is nothing she can do, she goes back to the cottage with Jo. The jeep is parked outside. Faber greets them by announcing that David has decided to stay with Tom another day. Lucy takes Jo back outside to the jeep, but Faber follows. Lucy claims she is only planning on putting the jeep away, but when she does, she leaves the garage door open.
