After falling asleep while reading in bed, Sara plays the recorder Peter gave her and watches the sparrows eat. She awkwardly scrubs the front porch as her former classmates prepare for church, and Lavinia's farewell makes them long for the good old days. The Headmistress forbids her from going to church, and James sends her shopping to Covent Garden. The route is a reminder of her former life with her father, especially when she is robbed. Peter helps Sara with the shopping, which may ultimately backfire on her.
