She was a teacher fed up with teaching kids and wanted to go back to Ireland; Dillon was going to Ireland to be the manager of a hotel but he wished he could stay in London. There was a conference about Scottish and Irish poetry in the hotel, and Andrea was doing interviews. In that moment, Dillon weakened and instead of talk to her honestly, he just let it pass and console her. She said that she thought he had never loved her and he wanted to leave her. His father, who had introduced him to the hotel business (he was the proprietor of Kinsallagh House Hotel), would feel betrayed. Since then they had meet often to make love. When he finally arrived home he found his wife with a friend (Peg Wilton) who he would have to drive home. · He thought about his father's reaction to what he wanted to do. Dillon talked to his wife while she was brushing her hair [He remembers her vomiting; she is bulimic]. In the way home, Peg asked Dillon if he would let Moira work in a shop she was going to open. She wanted to talk, and the talk turned to be an argue. He tried not to have to talk with his wife; he went to the library and looked his books.
