SynopsisThe scene is the Fordyces’ drawing-room at their house in Hampstead the week before Christmas (present time). The Fordyces are preparing for the wedding of their daughter, Jacky, to Victor, son of Stephen Parker, with whom Henry Fordyce is planning a business merger. Then in walks Mrs Puffin from Clapham who announces that she saw in a vision that Jacky would not marry Victor, and that she will in fact marry the young business associate, Roger Vincent, a friend of the Parker family. She also announces that Victor is in love with Jacky’s younger sister, Pamela. The oracle proves accurate but no wonder, as Mrs Puffin has been carefully primed for her role as suburban seer.
