Kate and Anthony spend a brief time at Aubrey Hall, then return to London to finish the social season. Edwina visits Kate one afternoon and tells her that she has fallen in love with a Mr. Bagwell, a scholar she met at the Aubrey Hall house party. Anthony joins them, as he has an unexpected block of free time in his afternoon. Kate tells him of Edwina’s new romance, and Anthony says he would like to meet Mr. Bagwell since he is the head of the family. Kate walks Edwina out, and Anthony stays behind in the sitting room. He reflects on his afternoons of late, and how contrary to what he told Kate, he has spent his time at White’s gentlemen’s club playing cards and reading the paper. Anthony thinks about how to maneuver Kate to the bedroom, not realizing that Kate is trying to talk to him. Anthony says he would like to provide a dowry for Edwina, which makes Kate start to cry because she thinks it is the nicest thing anyone has ever done. Kate happily sits in his lap, and Anthony thinks they fit together perfectly.
