On a rain-soaked street, Mr. Hopkin—Charon, Adrian's feared cousin—is confronted by Ms. Trump, who reveals she's Adrian's fiancée. Rumors call Charon merciless, but he insists on driving her home when she tries to hail a cab. Later he finds her wet and tells her to remove the clothes, despite her warning, 'I'm your cousin's fiancée.' He refuses any impropriety yet helps: offers his coat and tells her to put it on. The exchange shifts his image from menace to protector, and he closes by asking, 'Is Adrian good to you?'
