In this chapter, we learn that Frank is now a member of the family, and that he has taken good care of his father. He thanks Frank for befriending him, and tells him that he is the "most despicable person" in the world. He tells Frank that he will never trust anyone again, and says that all of the men in the family are liars. Frank asks him where he is going, and he says that he only befriended him because of Frank's father's orders. He says that if he were not friends, he would not have told him about his secret. He asks Frank why he is upset, and Frank replies that he does not know the "terrible person" . Frank tells him to tell him another secret, and asks him if he would have him do anything to prove his sincerity towards him. Frank says that it would be better if he did not force Black to be his friend, and then he tells him about the fact that everyone wants to know his real name, which is bryant. Frank is shocked, because he thinks that they are too much of a burden. He then tells Frank about the quarrel between Black and his father, and how he is determined to remain with molly forever. Frank suggests that they have a drink together, and they both agree that they will always respect each other's decisions.
