📙 The story has moved on to the years 1945 and 1952 when Patrick (Jakes illegitimate son) has returned from the war an RAF Hero. With Jakes demise the story picks up with Patrick, following his trials and tribulations in a much changed post war world. Patrick meets by chance Jakes daughter Ruth who unbeknown to them both is his half-sister. The two form a long distance purely platonic alliance but each can feel the pull of something stronger despite their widely differing social backgrounds.
