The moment his back is turned Percy calls, but the unexpected return of the husband obliges the lady to hide her visitor in the cupboard. Charles soon goes out again and the prisoner is released. Catching up a white stocking to wipe the perspiration from his brow, he stuffs it in his pocket and takes his departure for the nearest café to get a bracer. There he meets Charles and another friend. To this latter he recounts his adventure and both laugh heartily at the joke. However, Percy is not to get off scot free, for on his return home his wife finds the stocking and naturally gives him a piece of her mind. Percy thereupon sits down and writes a note to his friend, asking him to get him out of the scrape, and the friend shows the letter to Charles, who volunteers to do the trick for him. Charles accordingly calls upon Mrs. Percy with one bare leg and narrates a story about her husband having removed the stocking in the spirit of mischief. Mrs. Percy calls attention to the fact that his other stocking is black and Charles, picking up the white hosiery to examine it, is horrified to find that it belongs to his wife.
