The scene opens with a warning from Madame Fauntleroy that she will kill the doctor if he does not tell her the truth about the pregnancy. The doctor tells her that the baby is his and that he will take care of it. He tells her to stop being so emotional and to let him go. He says that if she does not believe him, he will go back to the doctor and tell him the truth. He asks her if she is willing to raise the baby for someone else, and she says that she is. She asks him if he has had any other relationships, and he says that he has never had any. She tells him that she wants to leave, but he tells her not to worry, because he will tell her that he had done the surgery and the baby belongs to him.
