Over time Jimmie tells Michael that he wants to marry Kitty Maguire, who he thinks is Gloria. Michael then calls Larry McKean and tells him he wants a dinner set for Gloria. During the evening of the dinner Michael ordered, he hopes Kitty gets drunk and Jimmie will tire of her, but she stays sober. The Duke de Sauterne arrives at the inn and Larry introduces him to Michael's party. The Duke walks over to Kitty and kisses her hand, which upsets Jimmie. The next morning, chases after Kitty when she runs away and he walks in to her apartment and tells Jimmie that Kitty is no good and Mother Maguire gets offended and says Kitty is just as good as Jimmie.
