While Lady Marjorie is preparing for her trip to America, a bored and restless James takes an interest in Richard's comely secretary, Miss Forrest. When Miss Forrest volunteers to work on a Saturday afternoon and James invites her to luncheon in the Upstairs dining room, in the absence of his parents, Hudson is thunderstruck. At Hudson's protestations, James demands Hudson serve his father's best claret to a 'hired typist.' Hudson is outraged and resigns, in a fit of pique, but cool heads prevail and all is settled before Lady Marjorie leaves on her fateful journey.
