Scenes they share

  1. Strolling on the terrace, Bertie spots the silver collection, steps in and lifts the cow-creamer out of its unlocked case just as Spode appears with a shotgun and says 'Hands up!'Chapters 2–3, the collection-room
  2. At a superb dinner Bertie can barely eat for watching Gussie and Madeline sit in frozen silence, their engagement plainly off.Chapter 6, the Totleigh dining-room
  3. Left with Sir Watkyn and Spode over the port, Bertie retreats to his room, where Spode bursts in looking for Gussie and leaves a message that he means to break his neck.Chapter 6, Bertie's room at Totleigh
  4. At tea Madeline tells Bertie she still loves Gussie and weeps over his hopeless love for her, and Spode walks in to find Bertie patting her head.Chapters 5–6, the Totleigh drawing-room
  5. At a sombre dinner Bertie admires Sir Watkyn's new black amber statuette, bought from Plank and worth a thousand pounds, offends him by calling it soapstone, and slips off to his room afterwards.Chapters 6–7, the Totleigh dining-room
  6. Gussie flees with Bertie to meet Emerald in the kitchen garden, where she flattens the pursuing Spode with a basin, and Madeline, finding Gussie over the body, declares she loathes him and it is the end as he defiantly eats a ham sandwich.Chapter 15, the kitchen garden
  7. Blocked from the window by Bartholomew, Bertie hides under the sofa and hears Spode declare his love to Madeline and denounce Bertie as a thief after the statuette, then go to fetch Sir Watkyn.Chapters 22–23, Totleigh Towers
