On arriving in Italy Oswald immediately falls under Corinnes magical spell as she is crowned a national genius at the Captitol. Yet on returning to England he succumbs to convention & honours his late fathers wish by marrying the dutiful English girl Lucile despite having learned that Corinne is Luciles Italian half-sister.
