Mr. Barber is being rushed into a wedding by staff obeying Old Mrs. Barber’s demand that her thirty-year-old grandson marry today. A staff member announces they paid three million for a bride ready to sign and frantically summons her, but the bride is delayed. Meanwhile Lena, newly arrived from another village, races through Willowglen calling Adrian’s name and scrambling to catch him. She reaches the scene, calls for help and cries, “I’m coming, Mr. Barber!” As the household pushes toward the ceremony, Lena’s arrival interrupts the final preparations and leaves the outcome unresolved.
