        Captain Shelby has a discussion with Captain Zhang about Fr.
Zarpazo. Shelby assures everyone they are safe from the Wolf of JEsus,
because he has a charm of protection: the soul of the cobra, a red pearl
that once was  a cyst growing within the brain of a cobra.

        Zsuzsa gives her exhibition of the battle of Leuthen, and
Professor Voam says that the history of England has all been about hair.
Captain Shelby and Squire Haligast both give their own spin on war.

        Wicks said that the armies of old were driven by faith and
modern armies lack faith.

        Zhang accuses Zsusza of being Zarpazo and the rest of the
company tries to dissuade him.

        The scene returns to the LeSpark house where Ethelmer sits in a
downstairs room alone at  a piano, singing a song about a thermometer.
