Boycie is less than overjoyed to learn that Marlene's sister Petunia - or Pertunia, as he pronounces it - is coming for a visit not just because they don't like each other, she feeling that Marlene married beneath herself, but because he also fears that the Driscoll brothers may have followed her from Peckham. He even insists she is blindfold coming from the station to the farm so she will not know the route. His fears are not unfounded after he finds Bryan, who has taken a fancy to her, and the other farm staff tied up in the barn. The Driscolls have arrived, but are prepared to let Boycie live in exchange for their burying 'something' on his farm.
