Though the official cause is pneumonia, Dunstan finds it odd that Leola had deliberately opened her windows on a frigid winter’s afternoon. When Dunstan informs David of his mother’s death, he merely replies that she is better off. Boy is in England at the time, and hence unable (or unwilling) to attend the funeral. Instead, he entrusts Dunstan with all the details. Milo the barber attends, remarking on how sad Dunstan must feel at the loss of his first love. Dunstan, however, feels nothing for her.
