The narrator wakes up in the middle of the night. He's exhausted, but he doesn't want to go back to bed. He tells himself that he's fine, and that he needs to go to the next town to get something to eat and to stretch his legs. The narrator tells the narrator to stop by the farmhouse and ask for a room, and the narrator says, "I'm fine, really" . He says that he ordered a couple things, and they've been waiting for hours for him to arrive at the farmhouse. He wants to see how the brothers treat each other, and he says that it's nice to see them take care of each other like that. He asks if the brothers are going to hit him, but the narrator tells him not to worry, because they're not going to do anything to him because he is angry. He goes on to say that the brothers need to scream as loud as they can to let the outside world know what's going on, and then he says he'll make the boys go to sleep.
