Whilst digging a grave in the local churchyard Silas meets the aristocratic Lady Sylvia, who, unknown to herself is terminally ill. She is outraged to see Silas drinking in the graveyard but when he tells her it is herbal tea and she takes some herself she becomes more friendly. Indeed she ultimately demands a very saucy favour from Silas to stop her from pressing charges when he is caught poaching on her land.
