The Tempters and a London Dilemma in Debt and Love
In a tense drawing room scene Mr. Cramer presses Phyllis to disclose her links to Captain Jenkins’s murder and to reveal if she still loves Lieutenant Hampden. Phyllis protests innocence about the murder yet admits her feelings for Hampden, who she believes is engaged to another woman, as Cramer hints at threats to force a political scandal and Hampden’s arrest. The plot thickens with indictments, blackmail, and fragile loyalties.
