The Folly of Eustace: Eustace Lane decided at any early age to don the mask of the clown. People began to take notice, calling him a whimsical, irresponsible creature. He reveled in surprise parties and practical jokes, in being silly in unexpected way. Then he fell in love with Winifred Ames, and she with him. But was she in love with the mask... or the man underneath?
The Last Time: While on the train to Calais, Strickland is seated in front of woman who momentarily breaks down in extreme anguish. Embarrassed, he says nothing. But they meet again. And this time Mrs. Armitage explains the tragedy of her life, and her deepest regret.
The Letter: Everyone was surprised when Lena Wareham accepted Eustace Henley's proposal of marriage. Lena is somewhat surprised herself. Then the letter arrives. Eustace has put his true thoughts about Lena in a letter to the woman he really loves, then mistakenly mails it to Lena. Should she let him know she received it, or accept a seemingly loveless marriage?
