Summary
Once returned to England from their expedition Francis Crozier marries a lovely young woman, and moves to the countryside with her and Captain James Fitzjames. That his new wife and Captain Fitzjames are the same person remains their own private business.
It does, however, lead to some misunderstandings when discussed with outsiders.

“I would have saved you,” Edward says, and it is fantasy, pure fantasy, because Thomas has always been the more capable one, but he thinks this love is so great it could turn him into the saving kind.

Summary
You’re too old to be this sentimental, he tells himself, brushing the fabric with extra vigor. What matters is that he act prudently and not risk a good position over a dark brow and a pair of broad shoulders. He is not a ship’s boy anymore, cocky over the surety of his next meal for the first time in his life and the knowledge of his ability to catch a man’s eye. He did not make it this far by indulging in risks or asking for more than was good for him. He hadn’t batted an eye when the admiralty had laughed Crozier’s attempts at securing his lieutenancy out of the room. He is accustomed to wanting what he cannot have.

Summary
Some nights Jopson would work around the officers as they took their after-dinner drinks. Edward usually retired early to his bunk, but those nights he liked to stay in the wardroom late, feeling some part of him drawn to the steward’s presence. Being around Jopson filled him with both comfort and disquiet, a contradiction he could not understand but felt overpowered by. When Jopson would catch his eye, his lips would twitch into the smallest smile and he would tilt his head in a minute bow, and Edward would nod back, wondering if he would ever be lucky enough to earn a true smile.
