Having abdicated the British throne, the Duke of Windsor, in the midst of an assassination plot launched against him in Portugal, drunkenly stumbles up to the Martello Tower of the Villa Cascais to hide. In the room where he hides there are a number of Baroque mirrors, and in them he sees three different images of himself. In one he sees himself as the Prince of Wales, in the second as the Duke of Windsor, in the third as an old man. In his drunkenness, the mirror images begin to speak to him and he carries on a conversation with them. When the threat of assassination becomes imminent, the Duke, in a fit of panic, runs through his own reflection, shattering the mirror and scarring his face for life. In Death of a Lady's Man a similar interaction with images of self takes place, but the mirrors are never shattered, or a true self revealed.
