It's time for the third test, and the audience is left to wonder what the heck is going on. The narrator tries to figure out what's going on, but he can't. He's not sure what the lords are trying to do, and he's worried that the test will be unfair. He decides to take control of the situation himself, and says that he'll stop the test before it's over. He says that the scene will be better if the candidates lose in front of the audience, and that's exactly what they're doing right now. He tells the audience that they'll have to wait until the next test is over before they can continue. He also says that if the lords want to continue with the test, then they should just continue with it. He adds that the next time the test is given, the candidates will have to rest until they can be called back again.
