This chapter's epigraph comes from a poem by a famous English poet, Henry James. It's a poem about a man who's about to die. The poem is about a guy who dies, and it's written by a guy named Henry James, who is a friend of Henry James's. He's the one who wrote the poem about the guy who died. The guy who wrote it is called the "father figure" of the poem. The father figure is a god, and he's going to help Henry's family get back to their home. The dad figure is wearing a golden robe and has a "granny-like hairstyle" . He also has the "autrevert" aura, which is a fancy way of saying "pervert." Henry asks the dad figure if he'll promise to not tell anyone that he has a treasure on him if he can help them get their home back. He wants to know what that "god" looks like, because he can't help but wonder what kind of a god this guy is. Henry asks if the father figure will promise to keep the treasure a secret, and if he won't tell anyone about it. He asks if they'll be able to get back into their home if they can just let him live there, and then Henry asks what that god is like, since he looks like a pervert. Henry says that the god is still the same, and that the tree has grown a spirit, which means the tree is on its way to becoming immortal again. He curses the landlord for cutting down the tree
