Dorothy's visit to Flambards ends all too soon, but she hopes she's planted a seed in Mark's mind. When Mark allows Tizzy to ride Pheasant, a horse too strong for him, the boy is lost for hours; while recovering Tizzy overhears Mark quarrelling with Christina over the fate of Flambards. In an effort to not have to leave, Tizzy sets the barn afire and Mark and Dick fight together to save the estate. But when Mark's lawyer reveals Flambards is deep in debt and the only way to save it is for Christina to buy it, the tide turns for her--and Mark as well.
