While drinking in the local tavern with his brothers and sister, Armus has his purse stolen. He captures the thief and discovers the pickpocket is a little girl who lives with an old woodcutter. The Greys take a liking to the child and the woodsman and invite them to their castle for Christmas even though though they must travel with Sir Thomas his investiture as a Knight of the Garter. Meanwhile Sir Ivar seeks the assistance of Baron Mullens in the search for their missing ward.
