In this chapter, we are introduced to a new character, a "mole madman" . The madman is described as a "partner of justice" who "combines strength and looks" with "beauty" on the outside and "integrity flying away" from the "bad guys." The madman's reaction to the appearance of this new character is a mixture of fear and excitement. He is terrified that the witch will find him. The witch warns him that he is still alive and that she will kill him if he tries to escape. The woman then tells him that she has discovered him and that he has been discovered in a "generosity of indescribable sphere." He is horrified at the thought of being discovered in such a dangerous place, but he is determined to survive.
