"Shall I call again tomorrow?" asked the doctor, before taking leave of the old man.

"Oh, no, we will send for you if she isnt so well," he replied, "She has hardly had any temperature today; her cough is easier; and the pain has quite disappeared, I cant think, though, how she has caught this germ. She has hardly been out of the house for the last three weeks, owing to the intenseness of the cold, and nobody else has influenza, or even a cold."

Suddenly there came a knock to the door and Dorian heard Lord Henrys voice outside. He said he couldnt bear his friend shutting himself in and asked Dorian to let him in at once.

Dorian made no answer at first, but then jumped up and unlocked the door.

The first thing Lord Henry said when he entered was that he was sorry for it all but in his opinion Dorian mustnt think too much of it. Then he inquired if Dorian had seen Sibyl Vane after the play was over.

Dorian said that he had and confessed that he had been brutal to her. He added however, that everything was all right and he felt perfectly happy at the moment. He had decided to marry Sibyl Vane because he wanted to be good and couldnt bear the idea of his soul being so had and ugly.
