On a train journey to meet Mrs. Jago, Sletherby gets a young unkempt man named Bertie, as his travelling companion. Bertie claims to be Mrs. Jago’s second son. But Sletherby has his own doubts as the crest on Bertie does not match with that of Mrs. Jago. Moreover, he is not able to tell the correct colour of his mother’s hair. Bertie also asks to borrow 3 pounds, which Sletherby promptly refuses.
But later, after reaching Mrs. Jago’s estate, he finds that there are two crests for Mrs. Jago’s estate, one matching with the one he had seen on Bertie. He also learns that Mrs. Jago had of late, changed the colour of her hair!
