Summary "Drums", September 1642 The parliamentary army secured London with great wealth and material possessions. The King retreated to the Thames and established his field headquarters in Oxford. He was in desperate need of money, and his sympathizers had begun to turn in their silver plates and other valuables to be sold abroad. We arrive at Annescott, the family mansion of Sir Martin Lacy, to find him badly wounded and now out of the fight for good. But he is using his castle as a receiving center to receive the silver platters secretly delivered to him by sympathetic country neighbors, and equally secretly delivered to the king. Meanwhile, Sir Martin's son Tom is a professional soldier in the King's Army, while his youngest daughter Lucinda maintains the family's royalist ties. But his eldest daughter, Anne, is married to lawyer John Fletcher, an MP, and sooner or later they will have to take their own family's hostile stance.
