 When disheveled Mr. Dooley appears at the front door of 165 Eaton Place, requesting to see her Ladyship, Hudson throws him to the curb. Later on, he discovers Watkins in the garage and tells him that he possesses torrid love letters Lady Marjorie wrote to her late lover, Captain Charles Hammond. His price for them -- 100 pounds. Watkins informs Lady Marjorie that these letters have surfaced and that Dooley is asking 200 pounds -- a handsome profit for him and why not? Visibly shaken, Lady Marjorie relies on Watkins  discretion to get hold of her correspondence, no matter the cost. Richard senses his wife s anxiety and Watkins informs him of this plot to extort her Ladyship. With 400 pounds sterling in tow, the letters from Dooley and Sarah prodding his conscience, whatever will Watkins do?
