The next morning, Tulkinghorn is worried about his stock price. He decides to hook up with an actress and spread the gossip about her in order to increase the company's stock price, which is a double-edged sword. He also wants to make sure that the actress's social status is noticed and that her popularity is increased in return. He tells his mother and sister that he is going to go to the company to have a meeting and then he will go back to his mother's house.
