The noisy narrator tells us that the royal banquet has been prepared for the Queen's birthday, and that it will be the official debut of the new Duke's fiance, the young man who is the son of the Duke. The narrator says that he is nervous about the people who will see him and his new fiance, but he reassures him that he will prove his worth to them. He compares the two of them to pets, and he says that if he does not believe in himself, he can prove it to the people around him. He then compares the Duke and his son to animals, and says that the Duke is beautiful, while the son is "quite different" in appearance. He says that they are better suited for each other than he had thought, because the Duke has a man's heart, and the son has a woman's. The queen congratulates the two men on their success, and she invites them to have tea with her.
