In this chapter, we learn that Dr. Lockwood was planning to take the young man to stay with him in his house. The young man, however, is adamant that he will not stay with the madman. He tells Lockwood that the madman saved his life that day, and he will ask the doctor to explain everything. Lockwood says he will only listen to what the doctor tells him. He says that now that he knows what the madman is up to, he will be able to become the leader of the family. He asks the doctor if he is planning to leave the house, and the doctor replies that he is not planning to do so. He adds that he has heard stories of unscrupulous human beings who prey on young people who have just turned 20, and who then ditch them. He warns Lockwood that if he continues to take too much of the medicine, it will only hurt his body. The doctor says that he can help Lockwood, but he must be careful not to increase the dosage.
