Driving back to his cottage Bertie gets drowsy from the heat of the day and from the port the lunch at the Briscoes was concluded with and stops in a wooded area to take a nap behind the wheel. He is rudely awakened by a bird watcher who wants him to stop snoring because it scares the birds away when Orlo Porter, who the bird watcher turns out to be, suddenly recognizes Bertie and starts accusing him of approaching the Cook residence aiming to steal Vanessa away from him. Warning Bertie that he will be watched and have his insides torn out if he comes near her Orlo leaves to contunue his watching of the birds.
