Dennis O'Kelly stands in the middle of a bedroom, being threatened by a man with a poker. O'Kelly tries to bribe a woman who has fallen back in a faint.

There he met prostitute Charlotte Hayes, forming a partnership in which he would frequent London's coffee-houses seeking out clients to introduce to Hayes. They were so successful that within a few years he could buy the racehorse 'Eclipse' (whose portrait is on the wall here), ancestor of an estimated 95% of all contemporary thoroughbreds. Racing interest.
