...last act the toyman presents in a puppet show a ridiculous parody on the story of Hero and Leander. The zealous Busy rushes in to pull down the puppets, but, consenting to a debate with them, he is utterly routed by their arguments.

All the "enormities" are turned upon him, and he finds he has been mistaken in every individual case. Conciliated, he seeks reconciliation with the falsely accused by a general invitation to go home with...
