2. Rory and Monica settle their Derby bets and go to consult Jeeves, and Mrs Spottsworth tells Bill the pendant was a present from Mr Spottsworth, so Biggar's story was false and Bill flees to Jeeves's pantry.Chapter 17, the living room, as Derby
3. Jeeves tips Ballymore, tells Rory and Monica that Jill has broken off with Bill, Rory's tactless consolation enrages Monica, and Jeeves advises the despairing Bill to repay Mrs Spottsworth for the pendant by selling her Rowcester Abbey.Chapter 18, Jeeves's pantry, as this afternoon’s beano at Epsom Downs
4. Jeeves, carrying the champagne through the living room, meets Jill coming in through the french window.Chapters 18–21, the living room, as The Derby
