Subsequent seductions of both the mother Madame Dufour (Jane Marken) and daughter Henrietta (Sylvia Bataille) result in different emotions for each. Madame Dufour enjoys an innocent flirtation with Rodolphe, while Henrietta goes for a boat ride with Henri, and the two of them spend an idyllic afternoon and a very brief romance that may never be forgotten.
