Summary

Reverend Devlin leaves the dining room of the Palace Hotel and takes a walk along the beach and up to the terrace of Seaview. He comes upon Tauwhare. Devlin is curious as to why Lauderback thought Wells and Carver were brothers. He asks Tauwhare if he knew anything about the unfinished business between Wells and Carver. Tauwhare is deeply ashamed that he betrayed his friend for money. He saw Carver go to Crosbie’s cottage and thought only that it was the reunion of two friends.
