Thomas Tripp is delivering milk to Winkstead Hall, and while talking to Brackett they discover that because Lord Belborough's birthday is in February then today is his lucky day. Later, Lord Belborough is telling Brackett about his antique vase, (and that he is looking for another to make a pair) when he accidentally drops it, smashing it into pieces. When the dustmen arrive they empty the Winkstead Hall bins and take away the vase fragments.
