Marguerite bids a tearful farewell to her brother, Armand, before he boards Sir Percy’s yacht, the Day Dream, to return to France. Despite his sister’s misgivings—indeed, despite his own—Armand feels he cannot abandon his native land in this dark hour. He knows that Marguerite is unhappy in her marriage to Sir Percy, and asks her if her husband knows about her part in the arrest of the Marquis de St. Cyr (the incident over which the Comtesse is so angry at Marguerite, Ch. IV). Marguerite confirms that she told Sir Percy about her involovement, but only after he had heard about her actions from others; he does not view the (as yet unspecified) circumstances as “extenuating,” as she and Armand do. The two reluctantly part, leaving much of their innermost thoughts and feelings unspoken.
