With the fruits of a successful season safely stowed, whaling captain Robert Thorpe reaches a milestone. The treasures of the sea will buy him a ship, with enough left over to purchase a house and find a wife.

While other ladies spend the season searching for husbands, Julia sneaks into London's notorious gaming hells, chasing excitement instead of propriety.
