She makes elaborate preparations, engaging a largo orchestra and cabaret artists to entertain her guests. The wine flown lVaely at the dinner, and Lillian becomes excited with what sinconsiders her suet-ess,as a hostess. Aitor the performance of a girl dancer, while all the guests are eagerly applauding, Lillian jumps up on the top of the glass-topped table.

A dramatic scene takes place at a critical moment, when Sir Anthony Jessop returns unexpectedly.
