[Content Warning: this episode contains descriptions of plague/pandemic and a brief mention of child death.]

Volume 2, Chapters 4 and 5:  A return to Windsor and an interlude of contentedness, marred only by reports of terrible events in faraway places. Plague begins to spread, and refugees begin to arrive on England’s shores.
