Constance goes to Mrs. Fog’s room and sees Percival, who has an appointment with Mrs. Fog. He confronts her about the de Champneys, sneering at their “mixed bloodline.” Percival insists that maintaining the relationship will prevent Mrs. Fog from visiting Rachel. He advises against the marriage but says that if she chooses to live quietly and away from the Mercer estate, the damage can be mitigated. He asks Mrs. Fog to confirm that Lady Mercer is not Simon’s daughter, and Mrs. Fog assures him that she is not. Constance believes that Rachel will reject Percival when she learns of his conduct, but he alludes to her pregnancy and suggests that it is in her best interest to marry immediately. After he leaves, Mrs. Fog tells Constance to say nothing to Rachel because there is nothing to be done. Poppy tells Constance that Captain Pendra is actually the son of the late Maharajah of Kochi Benar. Captain Pendra is now the new Maharajah.
