- Sir Claude visits Maisie and takes her out for a stroll in Kensington Gardens, in London's Hyde Park.
- We learn that he has broken his promise and hasn't been to visit Maisie much.
- Even though Maisie's mother is supposed to be away playing pool in Brussels, she appears in the park with a man.
- The man she's with isn't one we've heard about before; it's neither Mr. Perriam nor Lord Eric, nor someone called the "Count."
- The man in question is the "Captain," and Maisie is told to go talk to him while Ida and Sir Claude have it out.
