The storm is coming, and Gulliver is out of bed. He wants to go back to school, but he can't because the school is over. He tells his aunt and uncle that he doesn't want them to hear about his little house, because it's a part of their town. He also tells them that he won't be going back to the town because it makes him sick at heart. He shows them some of the things he's found in the town: shutters from the bell tower, a candle stand, an aviary, and a stained glass window from the lady chapel. He gives Gulliver a present: a pink damask dress that he found in a trunk in the attic of the town hall.
