The plot resolves around a young woman being cited in court as "The Other Woman" in a divorce case, and how her family reacts to it. Says her uncle: I shall go out; people shall see me walking boldly through the streets: Portland Place—Regent Street—Fletcher Portwood, with his head up—his head up, they’ll say. I shall not turn my back on you, my poor little girl; don’t be frightened of that. You were always my favourite niece— I shall dine at the House, and then sup at the club. All London shall see me. “Look at Portwood!” everybody will say. “Then there can’t be the slightest foundation for this scandal about his niece——!”
Justina.

What rot, mother!

37Mrs. Cloys.

Oh!

Mrs. Emptage.

However, he married this creature, Olive Harker—daughter of a Major Harker——

Sir Fletcher Portwood.

“Crummy” Harker—stout man——

Justina.

Four years ago this month.

Mrs. Emptage.

Yes, in the summer of the year in which Theo was married to Fraser of Locheen.

Sir Fletcher Portwood.

My extraordinary chronological faculty ought to serve me here. Theophila and Locheen were married in the March, Jack Allingham and Miss Harker in the following June; I took the chair that year at no less than three public dinners——

Mrs. Emptage.

Of course, when the two couples settled down in 38London the usual exchange of visits began. But from the first it was quite evident that Mrs. Allingham resented her husband’s friendship for Theo.
