With several years passing, she gave him up for dead and married again. "Re-enter" Lord Bradshaigh again as well. Feeling it now safe to return to England, he found his wife remarried.

As for Lady Mabel's punishment, The Lord promptly withdrew his fortune and returned to France, leaving Mabel destitute and alone for the rest of her life.
