As they gather at Ashfield's castle to celebrate, an unexpected turn of events unfolds: a young woman bursts in, claiming that Percy is the father of her child. A doctor corroborates her story, alleging that she is mentally unstable due to Percy's supposed infidelity.

Amidst the ensuing confusion, Percy realizes that both the woman and Mary's pearls have mysteriously vanished, leaving him perplexed.
