Kate is also in love with Hughie, which causes much jealousy and bickering. Finally Mike challenges Hughie to a duel out in Winter's Woods. Flora and Kate, learning of this secretly determine to be on hand to protect Hughie from harm. Hughie arrives on the battle ground armed with a razor in each hand, while Mike prepares to defend his honor with "Irish confetti," otherwise bricks. Kate and Flora conceal themselves behind a nearby rock, catching the two men circling like a couple of roosters. Mike hurls a brick, Hughie dodges and it hits Flora. She promptly accuses Kate of having struck her and the two women are soon putting up a scrap worth watching. They get mixed up with Hughie and Mike, and a mis-directed blow from Kate's rolling pin strikes Hughie on the head just as Flora's hatpin reaches another vital spot in his anatomy. With a howl of anguish Hughie runs for dear life. Kate follows and does the Good Samaritan act. Hughie's arm steals around her waist and with a happy sigh she nestles on his ample bosom, while Flora faints, first making sure Mike is nearby to catch her. So the Duel ends up in a Dual wedding.
