This leaves Clifton free to marry Emma Barrington and Giles soon falls in love with Lady Virginia, although his family greatly disapproves.
The Parliamentary Elections soon loom and by a combination of stealth and cunning, Fisher gets himself nominated to stand opposite Giles as the Conservative Party nominee.
Feeling certain that his Principal would not permit him to enter Cambridge, he decides to stay at a hotel in London fearing his parents wrath.
Unaware that the base of the sculpture actually held eight million pounds (in fake £5 notes) worth of counterfeit currency, Sebastian agrees to do so.
Upon reaching there, he finds out from Sebastian what he was expected to do and informs the Cabinet Secretary, who correctly guesses that the base of the Rodin statue "The Thinker" must actually hold the fake currency.
Once the piece reaches England, the authorities send some men to the dockyard to burn the fake money and replace the base.
Upon gaining hold of the piece, when Don Pedro finds out that he has been cheated, he assumes Sebastian is behind it and plans to get him killed in a car accident.
