Master John sets a harsh trial for a new night caregiver: to put Lady Jenny to sleep. Jenny has been violently insomniac for seven days, injuring over ten people, including her parents and a senior maid, who all failed to calm her. The caregiver, needing the job, accepts the challenge. He enters the room, steeling himself for the dangerous task. Outside, a guard scoffs, predicting the 'crazy woman' will strangle him within ten minutes.
