This chapter opens with a soliloquy in which we learn that the minister has changed the date of the test so that he is "like this" . This means that the test will now take place on the same day as the wedding, which means that it is more likely that the bride and groom will be in the same place at the same time. This is a major change in the way that the novel is being written, and we are told that it was written in such a way that it would be difficult for the audience to figure out what is going on in the novel. We are also told that this is the first time that the audience has been told that the wedding will take place in the middle of the night, so it is important to note that the scene is set in a hotel room, which is not the usual setting for a wedding.
