In which a lively gathering at Chaldicotes leads to convivial banter and spirited discourse among the clergy and their acquaintances, culminating in a public lecture on distant islands that is punctuated by opposing views on civilisation and religion. The evening closes with mixed receptions to the lecture’s earnest appeals, while behind the scenes a supper-party awaits those brave enough to attend.
