    Thank you, NP !

    Margaret: Frederick must go before the funeral. Have you talked to my father about arrangements ?

    Servant: He said Mr Bell will come from Oxford and arrange everything.

    Margaret: Mr Bell? Of course. He will help. But Frederick must leave before he comes. No one else must know he's here.

    Frederick: I wish I'd met this Leonards. I don't see why I should have to run away before the funeral. I've a good mind to face it out and stand trial.

    Father: No, you must go, Fred.

    Frederick: If only I could find witnesses and defend myself so everyone knows what a monster captain Reed was.

    Father: Oh, you think a court martial is somewhere justice is administered.

    Margaret: Fred has never tried to defend himself.

    Frederick: How can I know ? I can't send out the town cryer. I can't commission a pamphlet even if anyone would bother to read it.

    Margaret: What about a lawyer ? I know a lawyer who is honorable and clever I think. I'm sure you could if I … well if we asked. Mr Henry Lennox, father. You remember?

    Father: Do what you like. Write to Henry if you must but do not keep Frederick in England.

    Frederick: Henry Lennox. Is that Edith's brother-in-law ?

    Margaret: Yes.

    Frederick: He might be all right. I could write to him all the details of the crew and about the ship.

    Margaret: You must leave tomorrow by the night train. You can see Henry in London and then take a boat on from there.
