Sevalanz Grimble gets a text message from Lazarus Colswain. He is worried about the rumours of his daughter’s well-being. He asks Sevalanz (an old flame) for any news. Sevalanz is taking tea with Milton Ridley who repeats the views of the locals about Prigentia. He suggests that she has a split personality, and is therefore not fantasising at all. If there are two personalities, he explains, then it follows that there must be two real experiences of life. They chew this one over for a while, and Sevalanz sends a reply to Lazarus telling him that everything is fine. In the corner, Kolya, the young grandson of Samuel Quinine, for whom Sevalanz is babysitting, is playing with a circuit board.
