In prison, the three young men discuss their predicament. Only the two of them have received the floral blankets, and they are still trying to find a way to get their brother to accept the gift. They are all under arrest for gambling, and the government has charged them with gambling. The young men are relieved that their brother is not in jail, but they still feel like they are acting like men. The narrator asks the young men if they are the kind of men who like to show off their personality. They reply that they are not, and that they do not want to talk with their brother because he is a criminal. They feel that he is bullying them, and so they need to tell him who they are. They decide to sneer at him, but the narrator is not amused.
