This chapter's epigraph is from a poem called "Blowing Away," which was written by a Scottish poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley. In the poem, Shelley says that the wind is blowing him away, and that he will have to retreat to Scotland. He says that he cannot return to the city until he has defeated Lady Macbeth. He is amazed at the beauty of the city, and wonders why he is in it, when he knows that he is "staffed short" . He wonders why sylph is in the club where he is supposed to be looking for her. She is not there, he says, and he has no time to do anything about it. He looks around the room and sees that the dancers and the patrons are all inside the wind. He asks why they would kidnap her, and she says that it was her orders. He then shows her a coin that he got from a group therapy session. He shows it to her and asks her if she would like some chocolate. She says that she does not like chocolate, and asks him why he would torture her. He tells her that he did not want to torture anyone for 60 days, so he just roughed up her a little bit. He wants to torture her, he tells her, because she is a pretty girl, and it would be nice to pick her on. He realizes that he can't torture her anymore, since she is so tough. He knows that it is almost time for his meeting with Lady Macbeth, but he wonders what his next move will be.
