    Pau Varela
    Richard Pratt visits Mike Schofield's home for dinner. During the meal, Pratt and Mike engage in a series of bets regarding the identification and details of the wine being served. The bets increase in stakes, with Pratt ultimately betting the hand of Mike's daughter Louise in marriage if he wins. However, Pratt is able to determine the identity of the wine by having visited Mike's study earlier and seeing the label. After Pratt correctly identifies the wine, the servant reveals to Pratt that he left his glasses in Mike's study, showing that Pratt cheated. Mike wins the final bet, avoiding Louise being forced to marry Pratt and instead winning two houses.
