 It s June 1927 and James and Lady Prudence are headed for Ascot. All are in good spirits downstairs, save for Frederick. He s not at all happy and feels that he s ready to move on to something more challenging. Georgina. who is keen to get into the moving picture business, welcomes her friend, Dolly, and a celebrated French director to Eaton Place. Georgina is offered a minor part in this gentleman s next feature and Frederick s brooding good looks are not lost on Dolly. She manages to land him a minor part in the film as well. James is against Georgina s foray into filmdom and tells her, with no equivocation. She ignores his grievance, but when James and Lady Prudence visit the set, with neither Georgina nor Alfred knowing, James creates a scene and leaves. Back at Eaton Place, James confesses to Lady Prudence that he s in love with his step-cousin. As for Frederick, Lady Dolly Hale has taken an interest in him that has nothing to do with his film career. She lavishes him with expensive gifts and clothes. After eight years in service, he resigns his post and he s convinced that life has much more to offer him than a servants  hall in stylish Belgravia.
