When Poppy tells Agatha of her engagement to Dickie Metcalfe Agatha is appalled. He is a penniless fortune hunter, blackmailing Agatha over her indiscretions. Poppy, however, will hear nothing bad about Dickie and they drive off to Gretna Green to get married. The family and the staff give chase and catch up with them at Watford Gap where Dickie escapes in Cissy's plane and Ralph takes pot shots at him, incurring his wife's admiration for once. Poppy also reiterates her fondness for James but Ivy is annoyed that she treats him like her lap-dog and he obeys.
