Once in his room alone, we watch him silently and sadly unpack the gun, place it in front of him on the table in his room and prepare to do away with himself. He slowly places a bullet in the chamber and positions the gun to his head. At that moment there comes a knock on the door. He hides the gun and answers the door to find a pretty young woman standing there played by Geraldine McEwan. A fellow guest of the hotel, she is engaging, makes an excuse for her interruption and somehow flirts her way into him buying her dinner and dancing the night away. He's in love and later goes back to her room after a magical evening. Once in her room and while she is freshening up in the bathroom he looks out of her window only to realize what a good view she has of his own room across the courtyard. He can clearly see the table and remembered how just a few hours ago he had placed the revolver there ready to end his life. While she is still in the bathroom he leaves, goes back to his room and his revolver with a realization that she was only being nice to him to prevent a suicide not anything real.
