He dares her father's anger, however, and is visiting Bedelia in the library, which is decorated with various war trophies, including suits of armor, when they hear old man Stubbs stumping through the hall. Jenkins has no chance to escape, so he climbs into the armor by the fireplace. Stubbs has in tow old Brown, whom he designs as a marriageable mate for his daughter. The girl is called away and the old men have several glasses of wine, which warms them up right merrily. Stubbs is called to the telephone, and Brown, slightly tipsy, staggers up to examine the armor. Jenkins bowls him over, and rushes from the room clattering and colliding with Stubbs at the door. He flies through the door, surprising the cook and "her policeman," rushes down the street, and finally seeks refuge in a spiritualist séance that detectives have arranged to raid. The police grab him for a fake spirit, and he is carried away in a patrol wagon. Jenkins explains how he came into the rusty armor and they drive him back to old Stubbs' house, where he admits everything. The old man is a of himself.
