Tod acts like it’s terrible but he does the same thing! LOL LPW wants to live a quiet life so his cousin is a pain. Dian says LPW is moribund and his cousin sounds like her type. Tod offers to go and Dian gives her address in case the others need it. She invites him for a drink. He says no, out of duty to the duchess. They leave and LPW wonders if the fly is too big and gaudy.

He explains the DB refuses to take off his mask because the police are after him. He gives a quick sketch of all the times he’s had to help his cousin out of trouble. DB goes out of his way to copy LPW to help him avoid getting caught. He reveals the ugly truth that he thinks DB is running drugs, which, to Tod, would explain why he’s at Pym’s. He objects to DB taking advantage of addicted people when he is not one.
