Harry indignantly refuses, and immediately after Boris' departure, a beautiful woman named Jeanne Darcy rushes in, begging Harry to protect her until she has placed a certain envelope in a safe deposit vault. Harry assents and accompanies her outside, where they are attacked and the envelope is stolen. Later that evening, Boris assaults Harry and locks him in a room. Jeanne releases him, but not until Harry has caught a mirrored reflection of her and Boris in an embrace. Several weeks pass before Harry receives a summons from Jeanne, and as he approaches their meeting place, he witnesses Boris threatening to kill her unless she shoots a kidnapped heiress, Miss Lonsdale. Harry is horrified when she fires the gun, but just then, Jeanne and Boris, actually her father, laughingly admit that the entire affair was staged so that she might find a truly chivalrous potential husband.
