Jones meets with Mrs. Fitzpatrick, who suggests that Jones should try to get access to Sophia by flirting with Mrs. Western. She reminds him that this is what Mr. Fitzpatrick did in order to court her, and it worked. Jones politely declines the suggestion, infuriating Mrs. Fitzpatrick. Jones attempts to assuage Mrs. Fitzpatrick, who now takes a fancy to Jones. Out of vanity she believes herself to be one of the finest ladies in the world. As Jones leaves, Mrs. Fitzpatrick gazes at him seductively and invites him to visit her the following day. Jones's thoughts, however, tend only toward Sophia and he resolves not to call on Mrs. Fitzpatrick.
