Sir Arthur and his party arrive, and the work of writing the memoir progresses, Gapt. English’s diary, kept to the time of his death, contains wild words of love for his beautiful wife. Rosamond feels a growing repugnance to her present husband. Things come to a crisis when at an elaborate banquet Rosamond is reminded of the hunger and thirst Capt. English endured during the siege of his force which resulted in his death, and she leaves the table. Words with her husband lead to a hysterical outbreak, in which she tells him she is still English’s wife in thought. Sir Arthur fears she has lost her reason and sends for a noted physician. Bethune has fallen in love with Rosamond and is in his room grieving over her illness when Saif-u-din comes in, removes his native disguise and reveals himself as Capt. English. He had been taken prisoner by the natives, and on his escape had decided to let every one believe him dead, as he thought his wife did not love him. Now that he was convinced of her affection he determined to reclaim her. He enters Rosamond’s room, and at sight of him she swoons. Capt. English breaks the window with a chair to admit fresh air, and Sir Arthur rushes in. Sir Arthur accuses Capt, English of being an impostor, but English orders him from the house. Rosamond revives, and it is found that her suffering and the shock of seeing her supposedly dead husband have turned her hair white. 21
