- At the Andrews estate, Andrews warns King about Ellie's feistiness.
- King says he can handle it, then tells Andrews that he plans to make a showy entrance on the day of his wedding to Ellie: He's going to fly in an autogyro and land near the assembled guests.
- Andrews clearly thinks this is preposterous, but he shrugs it off and sends Westley away.
- Andrews then goes into Ellie's room to talk to her.
- Ellie's bored and distracted and generally very down.
- Prompted by her father, Ellie confesses that she's in love with someone she met on the road. His name, she says, is Peter Warne.
- Reluctantly, Andrews shows his daughter a letter that he's just received from Peter, requesting a meeting "about a financial matter in connection with" Ellie.
- Ellie assumes that this means Peter's only interested in the reward her father was offering.
- King then enters the room, and Andrews leaves.
- Ellie tells King that she's heard about the wedding-day stunt he's planned, and that she approves. She says she's excited for the life of adventure that they're going to lead together. But her tone is less than convincing.
