 Lady Prudence and matinée idol Gerald Maitland barge into Eaton Place and head directly for the drawing room. Hudson is baffled, but when Richard arrives, now his Lordship, Viscount Bellamy of Haversham, he asks Pru what she has planned. She says she s enlisted some of her society friends to put on a series of tableaux -- great warriors leaving for battle through the ages. Funds raised will be donated to the Red Cross, so Richard can not object. Through a series of mishaps, under Mr. Maitland s direction, it comes together and the family and some of the staff are enlisted to participate. Georgina will make the ideal Florence Nightingale and Ruby the perfect personification of a pathetic Belgian with Lady Prudence in Prussian military garb, representing the German invasion. During a dress rehearsal, there is an air raid and there s some damage in the exquisite room that has seen Prime Ministers and royalty in happier days. As Special Constable, Hudson ventures out and is wounded, but attempts to conceal his injury upon his return. He is rushed to the hospital, his wounds are superficial and the entire household are grateful -- despite the condition of the house, all are safe and cheerful. The indomitable Bellamy household has survived another ordeal, but at the very last, a telegram comes for Hazel. In her absence, shaken Richard, reads that "Major James Bellamy is missing, believed killed."
