The man accomplishes his purpose, but after clearing his name, is haunted by visions of the woman. He returns to her. She is an invalid. Satiated with all things good in life save health, she clings to her illness through sheer ennui, until the man, discerning, with rudeness, tenderness and anger in turn, matches his will against hers.
