Ghepter and Lord Harborough walk after midnight, Harborough excitedly asks why he wasn’t told of the club before. Maesinger notes their distant trust, then questions if they are deviating from their path as they pause on the pavement.
Lord Harborough and Massinger walk a distraught district where wrecked homes, gin palaces, and starving figures reveal a social abyss. A pleading girl outside Hellside draws Harborough’s pity as Massinger insists the suffering stems from drift through society.

Other cats face no similar harassment, and the scene suggests the cat will avoid future robins.
