She accepts the proposal of the Reverend Henry Lusty, and goes to London to stay with Mrs Machin, his sister. Mrs Machin, a secret writer of sensational novels, is delighted to learn that her visitor is closely acquainted with a rake, and seeks to take advantage of the situation. To help her hostess with her writing, Jessie immerses herself in London life, and the Earl experiences a change of role, as he finds himself having to keep a watchful eye over her. In London, Jessie blooms, and Ashbourne becomes attracted to her, but he is not her only admirer.
