Jolyon goes to see Soames Forsyte regarding the latter's possible divorce from his estranged wife Irene. He explains that Soames has no grounds for divorce, since Irene has remained faithful.
Meanwhile, Val Dartie is told of his father's disappearance to South America, and his mother (sister of Soames) explains that she will have to seek a divorce. Val is extremely upset. He pays a visit to his grandfather, James Forsyte, and receives a gift of money.
Annette Lamotte and her mother pay a visit to Soames's house at Mapledurham. He is contemplating marriage with the French girl, but is unsure of himself until he has again seen Irene.
