that the Warleggans are pressuring Morwenna to marry Ossie Whitworth. Book Three Book Three, consisting of thirteen chapters, begins in late May and ends in early August of 1795. Key events are the failed Royalist expedition to France, the rescue of Dwight Enys, the death of Aunt Agatha, Morwenna's marriage to Ossie Whitworth and George's dawning realization that the paternity of his son, Valentine, may be in question. Plans are finalized for Ross to participate in the Quiberon expedition under the command of John Borlase Warren and Lord Bridport. The plans were largely hatched by the Comte de Puisaye. Caroline Penvenen is portrayed as being friends with Charles Eugène Gabriel de Sombreuil who also is involved in planning the expedition. Having heard about a potential marriage between Morwenna and Ossie Whitworth, Drake Carne arranges to periodically meet her at Sawle Church. These meetings are observed by the pastor, who discloses them to George. Morwenna is furiously rebuked by George. George then notifies Ossie Whitworth that Morwenna has been "compromised by another man" thus at least temporarily ending the possibility of that marriage. Warleggan takes advantage of the troubles involving Geoffrey Charles to get his mother to agree to send him off to boarding school in the fall, a move that Elizabeth had previously been able to resist. Geoffrey Charles arranges a final farewell meeting between Morwenna, Drake and himself at Trenwith at a time when the Warleggans are out, and gives Drake a farewell present of his expensive christening Bible. 24 hours later, Drake is arrested and thrown in jail for the theft of this item. Ross muscles his way into an audience with Warleggan at Trenwith to request that Warleggan get the theft charges against Drake Carne dropped. Warleggan, as magistrate, will be hearing the same charges that he is bringing. Warleggan declines to have the charges dismissed. Ross then renews a threat he made two years ago, which is that unless Warleggan dropped his active hostilities, Ross would incite a miner uprising against Warleggan. Warleggan, considering his options, decides to drop the charges. Drake finds Ross to thank him. Ross invites Drake to join the French expedition, and Drake accepts. Ross Poldark, in conjunction with the French Royalists invading France in the Quiberon expedition, leads a small group of Cornishmen to find and rescue Dwight Enys. Through a series of James Bond-esque thrilling exploits, this mission is accomplished
