Meanwhile, Rittenhaus's wife, Laura, feeling neglected, finds herself in the company of Carl Tanzer, who she rejects despite his advances. Laura attempts to incite jealousy in her husband with a fake letter, but her plan fails. Later, while evading unwanted attention from another man, she encounters Fritz Schwerman, a friend of her husband's, and agrees to have lunch with him.
