When Alice contracts bronchitis and is sent to the hospital, she finds that she's happy for the first time in months.

 | Sloop of War by Alexander Kent
No. 4: The year is 1778, the ship is HMS Sparrow, England's finest sloop of war, and the Captain is Richard Bolitho, sailing his command into the fury of battle. The American Revolution has turned the Atlantic coast into a refuge for privateers and marauding French war ships. When the Sparrow comes upon the scene, bloody action soon follows. It is up to young Bolitho to fight the colonial rebels, to stave off the treachery of a beautiful woman, and to overcome the dangerous incompetence of a senior officer before it is too late.
