        Mitzi tells Mr. Dimdown not to fear Armand. She says that he has
forsworn violence in the kitchen, perhaps due to her mother's
influence.

        Mr. Dimdown tells her his first name is Philip and admits he has
never been in a duel.

        The landlord, Mr. Knockwood, comes in and tells Mitzi that her
mother is looking for her and Mitzi tells Mr. Knockwood that Mr. Dimdown
wishes to apologize to Armand. Mr. Knockwood says that he will arrange
it.

        That afternoon Armand accepts Mr. Dimdown's apology and the two
have an amicable conversation. They discuss bladesmen such as the great
Figg and Professor Tisonnier.

        Everyone gets into the act of discussing the process of layering
thin sheets of materials, which Mason mentions in some cases is called
lamination.

        Philip Dimdown, it is revealed to be a patriot.  He puts out
revolutionary posters on a printing press in his cellar. A few weeks he
will be arrested but confidently faces the fact that he will be freed by
the American Revolution.

        The chapter ends with Tenebrae demanding that Mitzi get to see
through Dimdown's Fop disguise to the hero underneath.
