What is happening at the Lyte House? Who's going to london and who's staying?

The Lytes are preparing to return to London before the war gets into full swing.  Although Cilla would prefer that Isannah stay in Boston, Lavinia convinces that life in the Lyte household in England would be far superior to life in Boston.  Isannah is only momentarily conflicted; then he chooses to go and be trained by Lavinia to be an actress.
