Frances reads letters from Budget No.15, August and September 1908; Cuthbert and Arthur describe the summer holiday in Branscombe; Vera writes from Plymouth about  tennis and the difficulties of employing servants. 

 Edmund returns to the Budget, belligerent; he is ill in bed, but manages to write a short letter. Avice writes from Sydenham and Enid writes from Liverpool, where she has been living in a round of dissipation.
