Nora adopts Theresa's baby, Patrick.  Nora, surprising herself, comes to love the baby. Theresa leaves, unable to watch Nora raise her baby, and goes to teach in Queens.  The night of Patrick (adult) death is described.  A bit of a mystery. He's drinking the night he dies, but denies it. Won't take a ride from his brother Brian. Nora sees Charlie in a new light--he adopts the baby and loves it. Nice scene with Charlie giving baby Patrick a bottle of milk and "chatting" with him. Nora finally (two years into their marriage) has sex with Charlie.  Second son John born two years later.

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (18...
