 Elizabeth returns to London from Scotland, where she was invited with her parents. Since she was planning to leave, Lady Marjorie has asked her to check on Sarah and how she is faring in her duties. She discovers that James has a visiting house guest, a Swedish friend and a member of his regiment, Captain Axel Ryttsen. Rysttsen has brought Kraft, his valet, with him. Kraft has been removing valuable objects from the Bellamy house and pawning them. In a byzantine scheme, Ryttsen and Kraft use Sarah as a patsy. She promises to hock one item so that Kraft won t be recognized. In exchange, the sweet-talking Kraft promises Sarah that she will return to Sweden with him. The pawnbroker and the police show up at Eaton Place. The police ask James if he knows what s happened and the pawnbroker claims his suspicions were aroused when a young woman like Sarah entered his shop, with something she must have purloined, given its worth. Sarah s credibility is shattered and the conniving Rysttsen and Kraft return to Stockholm, with the largess of their scheming and leave Sarah behind, one hapless servant girl who will certainly be dismissed.
