The narrator tells us that the marriage between the two of them is still in legal terms, and that he is still married to his first wife. He asks the narrator to tell him what has happened, and the narrator tells him that the woman is still upset about the rift between her and her husband. The narrator asks the woman to go and comfort the woman if she is worried about her, but the woman refuses, saying that it is awkward for her to be alone with her husband, and she does not want to hurt his feelings. She tells the narrator that she is thinking of divorcing him, and he tells her that he will take care of the matter for her. She says that she will take a walk with him outside, and when she sees him, she asks him if he would like to go for a walk. He says that he would, but that he has a job to do for the family, and there is no reason to worry about it. He tells the woman that the family's financial statements have been handled by someone else, but he has received more favors than he expected from them, and so he has decided to take over the job for them. The woman is upset, and asks if he is blaming her for being so mean to her. He replies that she was just caring for him, but she was treated unfairly. She asks him to go easy on his wife, and tells him to ask her whether she loves him or not.
