Roxanne, Nathan and the children were having a good time on the boat. They had prolonged their trip to spend some more time together as a family. Even though the war situation in Europe, the people on the boat were happy to be going to America where there was peace... Roxanne was happy for the first time in almost 20 years. She had found the man she loved, married him and now she had a family. Nathan had met an Englishman and they were discussing business in the dining room. Roxanne arrived with the children.

- Oh, Roxie, said Nathan, children, may I introduce you to Richard Grandchester. Richard, this is my family, my wife, Roxanne and our children, Cassandra and Steven.

- Pleased to meet you said Roxanne

- I'm very pleased to meet you madam, children...

- Men, you are incorrigible, always business! Europe is tearing itself apart, and you are talking business? Are you travelling alone Mr. Grandchester? Asked Roxanne

- Yes, said Richard, I'm going to America to get my son so he could get married...
