        Mason finally confesses to dixon of his more or less constant
state of arousal.  Dixon suggests he get out of the house more.  Mason
asks Dixon if he knows of any natives that could provide him with a
spell by which it would make all indifferent to the user.  Dixon goes
looking for one.  Mason wants to put the spell in the soup of Johanna
who is constantly being seduced by her slaves.

        Mason is deeply troubled by the great injustice of slavery.

        Mason says the Dutch East India company which is the government
in Capetown "is ev'rywhere and Ev'rything."  Dixon responds that it
sounds like Mason is talking about God.

        Dixon goes on to tell Mason that there are markets and
activities outside the purview of the Dutch East India company, and
invites Mason to come with him some night to see it for himself.
