In this section of reading, Edna has a dinner party of only ten people. The ones at the dinner party make up sort of a weird combination. In attendance include Mr. Ratignolle (who comes without his wife Adel because she is way too pregnant to leave the house and who also does not like Mrs. Highcamp or Arobin), Mrs. Highcamp, Victory (a nineteen year old who Mrs. Highcamp is trying to get at), and Madmoiselle Reize (who usually does not even leave her house). Edna wear a the diamond tiara that her husband gets for her on her birthday. The party mainly ends because Victor begins to play one of Robert and Edna's songs. This makes her upset and after the party Edna feels lonely, depressed, and desperate.
Mr. Pontellier eventually learns that Edna has moved out. Léonce decided to remodel and renovate the house, plans vacations (and even makes it known to the newspaper that he taking Edna on a vacation). It is obvious that he cares about what people are going to have to say about their marriage. He eventually takes the bad things she had done and turns the story around so it seems like he is a good loving husband. Edna's personal opinion about the situation is that going towards having a great amount of freedom.
