The next morning, Dr. Manette is worried about her husband's headache. He's worried that it's caused by a "distractor in the pelvis" , which is why she's been having pain in her lower back for the past few weeks. She's also worried that the pain might be caused by the fact that her husband has been having a lot of sex with her lately. She wants to cancel her appointment with the doctor, but she can't stand the idea of seeing the doctor's face again.
