Only her frequesnt visits to market to sell off her personal belongings keep them from starving. When Lady Brampton arrives wishing to buy John's poems, Martha sells all but a few love poems, including "First Love".

He did not recognise her and was making for the house of his first love - Mary - but Martha knows he will return eventually.
