Peter discovers that noone can give him much information on the General, no one seemed to see him arriving at the Club... He learns through Robert and the General's servant that he had spent the night away from home, staying with a friend called Oliver.. but noone knows Oliver or where he lives. Peter talks to George - and his wife Sheila. The couple are not well off and are in debt.. so the delays in proving the General's will are a worry to them... George is bitter and angry because his wife has to work and he feels emasculated by this but his own ill health makes it difficult for him to keep a job.
He is angry that Lady Dormer chose to leave her fortune to a distant relative, Ann Dorland.. whom he feels is a gold digger and (since she is interested in art) a Bohemian and unfeminine. Peter tries to contact Ann Dorland but she refuses to speak to him.
