A bedroom in a brothel where the earl falls dying after being struck with a sword by Silvertongue whom he has surprised with the countess. The lawyer escapes through the window to left as watchmen enter to right; the floor is strewn with clothing including a hooped petticoat, masks, the countess's shoes and her stays.
