Bertie tells Corky that Esmond really loves her and suggests that she writes him a note to encourage him, mentioning that his upcoming perfomance at the concert will do wonders for his self-confidence, especially when he  will be cheered by the claque Jeeves has proposed to organize, illustrating the effect by using Bingo Little's experience with his reluctance in asking his employer for a raise and being boosted by the winning of a baby contest. In return Corky promises to cease charming Gussie so that he will revert to Madeline, getting her off Berrtie's back. Having returned to his room  Bertie sees Catsmeat come in telling him  Aunt Agatha is coming to the Hall.
