The Reckoning
A tiny scene that plants the Host's comeuppance: he is about to be conned by the same kind of trickery he enjoys playing on others. His own words give the warning away. He has never heard of this Duke, who arrives so secretly, yet greed wins out and he plans to 'sauce' the Germans instead of asking questions. Notice that the man who fooled Caius and Evans with a fake duel now falls for a fake Duke. Windsor's joker has become a mark, and the scene sets up the revenge plot that will soon cost him his horses.
If this happened today…
You run a small guesthouse, and a group of foreign guests has booked out every room for a week. Now they want to borrow three of your cars to meet some VIP no one in town has heard of. That seems odd, but you think of the bill you'll send them and hand over the keys. After all, you're the one who knows how to work people.
