- Joanna takes Janet to a party on Riverside Drive. From the moment they walk into the party, it's as though they've walked into a play: most of the characters here are allegorical or archetypal figures, and much of the partygoers' dialogue is transcribed as it would be in a theatrical script. Over the course of the evening, Janet has conversations with three men: Ewing, Ginger Moustache, and the Host. Ewing is patronizing and pushy about drinks, Ginger Moustache is a creep, and the Host assaults Janet when she tries to leave. She breaks his arm.
