Bertie is joined in the smoking room by Tuppy, who is gloomy because Angela is still distant even after his refusing to eat dinner. He thinks another man must have stolen her heart while in Cannes. Aunt Dahlia comes in, says that Angela has gone to bed with a headache and tells Bertie to jump in the lake because he has caused her to go without dinner. On Bertie's reminder that this was to soften up her husband she says that Tom is now desolate because Anatole has given notice. Out on the lawn Bertie meets Jeeves, who tells him that Gussie is not feeling well. On finding Gussie it turns out that he wants to drown himself. After Gussie leaves Jeeves explains that Gussie when alone with Honoria started a lecture on newts - eventually causing her to go and leave him in deep misery.
