Their conversation is overheard by Cal, another suitor, who also pretends to be deaf and calls at the house.

Naturally both of them are filled with alarm when the doctor gets out his instruments, and are undergoing awful tortures when suddenly the widow and her nephew enter and the fake deafness of the two suitors is exposed.
