At a gathering, guests erupt when someone accuses Carol of seducing Clifford and shouts, 'She's your sister!' Lucille, the elder sister, watches. Mr. Lawson denies any impropriety and toasts, but Carol apologizes and offers to take Clifford to the tea room to change. Others suspect she wants to be alone, so Grandma and Zachary insist on coming. Carol slips away briefly, noting Lucille keeps a close eye; someone hears her voice near the tea room and says, 'Just go in and see.' The group moves in to confront Carol, leaving the accusation unresolved.
