In this chapter, we learn that Polonius's mother gave him the name Polonius. Polonius tells us that he doesn't hate his mother's name anymore, even though it's not a good one. He's sorry that he didn't keep his promise to Polonius, but he's also relieved that he wasn't crueler when he was younger. He tells Polonius that his mother used to say that he had a "younger brother" who was "special," unlike anything she'd ever seen. This makes Polonius think that he and his mother must be related, and Polonius says that he'd be happy to read her letter until her last days, so that he can see her again. He also says that the letter contains a picture of his mother, which makes him think that she'll be able to come see him soon. He says that's a good thing, because she's probably going to die soon, and he'll have to see her soon enough. He asks if he can read the letter until then, so he can be sure that she will see him again soon enough, and then he can come back and see her. He then asks if they've been together for any length of time, and says that it probably isn't his business name, but that there's no way he could refuse an invitation from someone like him. He goes on to explain that he accepted the invitation because he thought it would be a good way to sell the information Polonius wanted to know. He admits that he was scared at first, but then he realized that it was just a natural thing to do, and that he could trust his friend. He adds that he still believes in his friend's story, even if he'm not sure that he would change anything now. Polo
