love with Charley and Jack but that Spettigue will cut off their money should they marry without his consent. Fake Donna Lucia and the real Donna Lucia meet at tea. Charley is asked about life in Brazil! As the second act opens, walking along the garden path, Charley, in blazer and flannels tries to explain his many disappearances to Amy. Later in the afternoon, all the young ladies invited to the formal university ball are preparing for the dance. Charlie, again impersonating his aunt, finally says "yes" to Spettigue's proposal - but only if he writes a letter giving his consent for Amy and Kitty to marry Charlie and Jack, which he does. At the ball, Spettigue announces the engagement of his ward and his niece - and also of himself. Charley is there in his Donna Lucia outfit but when Jack accidentally steps on the hem of his skirt and tears it off, he is revealed as wearing a pair of trousers. Storming off in a rage at the deception, Spettigue leaves but everyone else remains to enjoy the ball.
