Ep. 15: Sara encounters Peter while shopping in Covent Garden after being sent away from church.

15

Sara falls asleep reading, then plays a recorder given by Peter while watching sparrows. She awkwardly cleans the porch as former classmates prepare for church, and Lavinia’s farewell evokes nostalgia. The Headmistress forbids church attendance, so James sends Sara to shop in Covent Garden. The journey reminds her of her past with her father, particularly after she is robbed. Peter assists Sara with her shopping errands, a help that may ultimately backfire on her. This sequence highlights her isolation and the lingering impact of her previous life as she navigates these new responsibilities and encounters in the city.
