It's a weird day, and the narrator feels like he's in the middle of a riot. He feels like the Princess is throwing her clothes out of her palace. He also feels like it's time for him to get out. He asks the narrator what he thinks of Prince Hal. The narrator doesn't know what to think, but he does know that Hal is "kind and quite gentle" . He reminds the narrator of his strange feeling of Hal at the beginning of the story, and he feels as if they've known each other for a long time now. He tells the narrator that his family is doing well, and that he'd like to help them if he could. He's much older than the narrator, so he has to go help them before he can help himself. He says he'll try to help his family no matter how he feels about them.
