The narrator tells Dr. Rivers that he's going to be sleeping in his room from tonight onwards. He's worried that if he sleeps with a rich guy, he'll be kicked out of his house. He asks if he can sleep in a separate room with him. Rivers says that he and his wife are married, so they can do whatever they want with their rooms. The narrator asks if it's appropriate for them to sleep in different beds, and Rivers says he'd rather sleep with someone else. He tells Rivers that his stomach hurts, and he needs to get ready for his period. He wants to go for a walk, but Rivers won't let him. He says he has to get his period supplies, and then he leaves.
