Scene 3: The turret chamber. A window on one side, outside which is a dilapidated balcony, beyond this the branches of a tree. A fire burns in a grate, R.H. Saker appears in the tree, steps on the balcony, and looks through the window. Tries in vain to push it open, sticks some pieces of gummed linen on the pane, then breaks it gently; the strips of linen prevent the glass from falling; he puts in his arm and opens the window. He enters, looks round, recognizes the safe. Goes to the door, R.H., opens it and listens. Closes it quietly. Returns to the safe, and commences operations. He is inserting the jemmy, when he stops, listens, and then steps behind the curtain of the window, which he draws so as to conceal the broken pane of glass. Enter Sir Bertie and Josephine. She bears a lighted candle which she places on the table. Sir Ber.
