Meanwhile, Mendace and Rhobert march another prisoner, Sheriff, to prison. At the prison, all the men are hungry and can hardly remember. Then Alice feeds them. Mendace and Sheriff talk about Woman, and the comfort she offers, and the inspiration.

She talks about absolving them of this desire and the pain of seeing them begin again. Alice and Rhobert find an understanding. Mendace tells Alice they will rape her. Alice tells the men that she has loved a woman. Alice calls herself the last woman on Earth. Owain and Blunt are alone on the road again. They talk about Amelia, a woman whose body Blunt once loved.
