When the maid tells him that Justice Proudfoot is the master of the house, he naturally mistakes that elderly gentleman for Marion’s husband and challenges him to a duel, which of course brings Lady Proudfoot under her husband’s suspicion. One after another, the men in the piece are mistaken by the impetuous foreigner for the husband of his adored one, and one after another, he tries to fight them all. In the end Marion succumbs to this passion – it seems the only way to kill it.
