 Mr. Scone has been enlisted to paint a portrait of Lady Marjorie. One afternoon, Sarah goes around to Scone s studio to bring some of her Ladyship s garments for his scrutiny. Scone finds Sarah very striking and is inspired to paint her, lying under the covers of a bed he has in his garret. Sarah is skeptical, but when he flatters her, she consents. No one must know, Sarah implores. She does tell Rose, who is wary of this Bohemian. When the portrait of Lady Marjorie is unveiled at an exhibition of Scone s work, Richard and his wife are shocked to see Sarah s suggestive portrait beside his depiction of Lady Marjorie. Assuming that Scone has been round to Eaton Place, her Ladyship wants Sarah and Rose dismissed immediately. Sarah explains to Lady Marjorie that she has it all wrong -- she sat for Scone at his studio, but he and Rose have never met. Lady Marjorie relents, Sarah spares Rose and manages her way out of a very tricky business.
