He is greeted by two people: his attorney who informs him that Walbeck's wife has fled to California taking his daughter with her and a new maid Bernice the self-proclaimed "best cook in Chicago" recently hired to keep the home going. Bernice it turns out served time for murder and the advice she gives Walbeck on how to deal with his future allows Wilder to explore the nature of pride.
