History 4, Part 2 Summary

The next morning, Charles discovers that Titus and Gilbert are getting along in a way he finds uncomfortable, and sends Gilbert to keep an eye out for Fitch and alert him when he's coming. He also discovers that Hartley is almost catatonic with fear and tension, seeing her actual physical age for the first time and becoming alarmed when she refuses breakfast, repeating over and over that she wants to go home. He decides that leaving her alone is the best option, and goes out to keep an eye on Titus, who has been swimming nude in the sea.
