In this chapter, the young woman tells the professor that if he doesn't trust her, she'll sue him and make him pay back every penny he's ever spent on her education. The professor tells her that it's not his fault, but that he helped her get into the university in the first place. The young woman says she wants to focus on her studies and live a normal life, but she can't because she has to work her fingers all over the place. She wants to be able to "get down to earth" . She says she's seen the "exorbitance and sumptuousness" of the upper class, but this does not give her the right to "hurt other people." The professor says that he values her talents, and that she could have a bright future without relying on him. He says that what she loves is not her, but whoever can give her money. She tells him that her mom and brother are like "blood suckers" who keep taking money from her. She asks the professor to help her, and he says he'll do so some other day.
