Lady Edith, wife of Sir James, is also present, and during the evening chance brings her near her husband and Miss Harleigh. The hostess introduces the two women; the actress puts forth her hand with a cordial smile, but Lady Edith bows coldly to Mrs. Bradford and says, "I do not wish to meet this actress, The Vulture." Sir James becomes infatuated by the Vulture and haunts her dressing room. She keeps him at arm's length despite his lavish gifts of jewelry, to the tune of fifty thousand pounds. Facing ruin, Lady Edith determines to smother her pride and call on the Vulture. The latter receives her coldly in her dressing room, and to her frantic appeals makes no other reply than a scornful scrutiny through her gold lorgnette. Lady Edith retires from the room. Hardly has she left the theater when one of the Vulture's most persistent admirers calls. Sir James follows him and upbraids the Vulture as a heartless flirt. She bids him begone. Realizing too late his own folly, he goes to his wife. In the midst of their despair she receives notice that the supposedly worthless estate of an uncle has proven valuable. A draft for fifty thousand pounds is enclosed. Time passes, and at another Bradford reception Lady Edith again snubs the Vulture. Mr. Bradford then publicly denounces her conduct, declaring: "But for Miss Harleigh's generosity you would be a pauper. That supposed legacy was from her, the woman you call the Vulture."
