The next morning, the doctor is called to the scene of the blood-poisoning. He tells the doctor that the patient has a congenital heart condition. The doctor tells him that he cannot suspect his family of such a thing. He says that he has done everything for the patient's good. He asks if he is worried about his brother again. The news about the second son being poisoned by a "labile bloodhunter" comes up, and the doctor says that it is not a big deal. He then tells the patient that she has had a heart attack and is being treated for it. He also tells her that she can have friends and relatives to talk to her about her recovery. She tells him to leave her alone for a while, and he agrees.
