The chapter opens with a description of the effects of the "dragon saliva" on the eyes of the two young men. The narrator says that the saliva is "the real usage of the dragon's saliva" and that he is disgusted by it. He asks the young man if it is true that it makes women pregnant without a man. The young man replies that it is not true and asks the woman to give him the ring. The woman says that a space ring would be a good thing, but that it would be too expensive to ask for it directly. She says that she only borrowed the ring for a while, and that she will send the ring when the "antiquary" is there. She tells the young men to give her the ring and let her swallow it. She then tells them that they can have a room in the "deeded void" of the devoured dog. She also tells them to find the scent of the ring on the ring, and then they can use it to separate the two parts of the room.
