Sinclair persuades Ranfield to join the RAF and form a small clandestine unit.A Tiger Moth almost collides with Ranfield's formation. Ranfield demands to know why and Corin Huxtabell disarms him with her admission she did not look out. Stricken by her touch, Ranfield offers to take Corin and her aeroplane back to Ridgewell.

Bored with trite social life, Corin and Virginia qualify as Photo Interpreters to support the men as they undertake surveys and intelligence gathering.Ranfield and Corin, Christopher and Virginia marry and spend the war years working together. Their duties take them all over the world: Iraq, Serbia, Albania, Germany, France, Burma and India climaxing with Ranfield and Christopher in New Mexico to solve a problem choking the Manhattan Project, using their knowledge from eight years earlier at The Cavendish.
