During a visit to London, Kitty meets Geoffrey Cliffe and William Ashe, Secretary of Home Affairs. Following her marriage to William, Kitty draws unflattering caricatures of British Cabinet members, to the amusement of her husband. Geoffrey advises her to publish them in a book, suggesting that it will advance William's career. She then creates a scandal by appearing semi-nude at a charity entertainment. William is forced to resign, and upon discovering that Kitty has left, he chastises Geoffrey for his influence. Later, William finds Kitty at the convent, and they are reconciled.
