Robert proposes to Dawn, but she refuses him, feeling that such a step would hinder her operatic career, but as soon as he leaves, she changes her mind and writes him a note asking him to return, which she intends to send the following morning. That night she encounters a burglar in her home, and the shock brings on temporary paralysis of the throat, which causes her to lose the faculty of speech.
