The chapter opens with a soliloquy by the boss, who tells his wife that he has come to get revenge on his wife. He tells her that she has been a source of misery for him, and that he is determined to have his revenge on her. The boss tells her to stay away from the train line, but she refuses, saying that she will not believe him if he says that she is in love with him. She tells him that she thinks he will be good friends with her, and she will kiss him when he is home. He says that he will release all of the "ten sion" from her chest, and they begin to rub the "scent sitive areas" with their hands. They squeeze and squeeze until they feel the "twitch" of the body. They then slap each other, and the boss says he is going to take a bath.
