In this chapter, we learn that Clymby is pregnant and that her lover, Nick, is going to find out about it soon enough. Annie suggests that she make a plan to adopt the baby, since she wants to give it up for her own good. If she gives the baby to her, she promises to raise the child to be a good citizen and not to be ashamed of his or her family's shameful behavior. She also promises that if the baby is adopted, she will give him a good education and will take care of him.
