Phineas Finn, much against his own wishes, has fought a duel with the fiery Lord Chiltern, in Belgium - the casus belli being Chiltern's unreasonable fury at learning that Phineas is a rival aspirant for the hand of Miss Violet Effingham. Phineas has been slightly wounded; Chiltern has escaped unscathed: but they remain rivals, and still at enmity.
Following the duel, Phineas has confessed to Chiltern's sister Lady Laura, the fact that it has taken place, and has also asked her to assist him in his love affair. Hurt and angry at such an astonishing request, Lady Laura has coldly bidden him to depart from her presence.
Despite all these distractions, Phineas has continued to devote himself to his parliamentary duties, and by way of reward has been elevated to the treasury bench.
