The titles to these chapters are really weird. Anyway. The chapter begins by Amory leaving Isabelle to end the affair. Amory fails a test and rediscovers himself; he decides to reapply himself to school. A very saddening thing happens when Amory's father dies and he attended the funeral with no emotion. This doesn't concern him but his family's finances are way down and this does draw his interest. They made some bad investments. While Amory is out with one of his drunken friends, he freaks out and thinks that the devil is following him. Upon returning to Princeton, Tom also sees the devil watching him. Burne Holliday begins to protest by quitting clubs. This makes Amory angry, and reignites his inner flame. Amory and Burne become extremely close friends. Amory visits a poverty stricken woman in Philadelphia and falls in love with her, even though she does not love him back. The war comes to America and people are forced to enlist. Amory and Tom bid farewell to Princeton and enlist. This concludes the first book of the series.
