- Mrs. Wix appears at Beale Farange's.
- Miss Overmore can't even. She really hates Mrs. Wix and all that she stands for, including Mrs. Farange.
- But Mrs. Wix holds her own, fights back with some surprisingly sharp words, and manages to give Maisie the message she has come to give: that her mother will marry a man named Sir Claude.
- Mrs. Wix also shows Maisie a picture of the man in question, and little Maisie is very, very impressed by the looks of her soon-to-be stepfather.
- Maisie convinces Mrs. Wix to give her the picture, and Mrs. Wix parts with it reluctantly.
- Out of nowhere, Miss Overmore announces that she, too, has just gotten married: to Mr. Farange.
