Presently Annie, the maid, arrives with two bottles of champagne and a policeman, intending to have a pleasant half hour with him alone.

Soon the master of the house, an amorous old gentleman who finds it pleasant to trifle with the maid, comes upstairs with two more bottles of champagne, the policeman being pushed through the skylight and Annie's champagne under the bed, to the delight of Sharper, who forthwith commences to imbibe the contents of the bottles. Meanwhile the mistress of the house has been searching for her errant spouse, and eventually comes to the maid's door.
