Thro' the Rye Continues at a Summer Ball
Nell and Paul navigate a crowded ballroom scene with Silvia Fleming and Miss Lister among a witty, flirtatious crowd. They discuss vanity, honesty, gender roles, and love while observing dances, costumes, and social dynamics at a late 19th or early 20th century party. The scene shifts to a brief social vignette involving the Finkelstein Brothers and a repentant debtor, Johnson, returning ten dollars to his former creditor.
