The Medmenham Revels and a Lady Seeks Shelter
The Medmenham club hosts a wild revel with Bacchantes, dancers, and a solemn tankard ceremony. A bell alarms patrons as Cockraine announces a distressed lady's arrival seeking hospitality, testing the club’s rules on admitting all visitors. Lord Harborne pushes to admit her, and Tobias prepares to interpret the rules before Kitty Dulcimore appears.
