After visiting Rácz, Freddy goes home after a long absence. He is full of energetic anger. His head cleared as he came back from seeing Rácz. He took the full measure of his own pathetic ineptitude and humiliation. Now he finally understood. For a few bright moments he saw himself in his true colours, as other people had hitherto seen him. The scales of illusion fell off. From now on it will all be different! He’s not a total idiot; if he were, he’d never have had such a career. He’s hard working and resilient. He’s even managed to lose weight. Well, true, in recent successful months he’s put it back on, but with the proper motivation, he’ll lose it again. Yes, it will all be different from now on.

Sida is at home. Freddy tried to avoid her at work and if he met her by chance he passed by her silently, while his employees whispered excitedly. Now he brusquely orders her to undress. Sida forgave him long ago and is under the impression that this is a new ploy. She sheds her clothes with a smile. Freddy lets her keep her illusions. He silently puts up with her provocative movements and her deliberate, drawn out disrobing. He watches this striptease and, instead of wildly pulsating excitement, terrible hatred boils up inside him.

When Sida is finally naked, Freddy gives her face such a slap that she falls to the floor. Freddy grabs her by the hair and hits her face with his fat hands for so long that tears mingle with her blood. Blood drips on the carpet from her cracked lip. Sida is so shocked and scared that at first she doesn’t fight back at all. She’s never known Freddy to be like that.

When she falls on the floor, Freddy kicks her a few times. Then he opens the closet and takes out the hippo whip that he gave her years ago. He starts to beat her all over, though he is a bit more careful than he was with Zongora. He knows that a real gentleman never whips a lady’s face or genitals. There are other body parts big enough to beat.

Sida crawls on the floor to get out of reach of Freddy’s blows. She succeeds for a while, crawling on all fours, but then a fierce blow pushes her on her side. Freddy holds her down with his foot. All his jealousy flows into the quivering tip of the whip. Freddy beats her and at the same time cries with pain. He knows that each blow irrevocably distances him from the family happiness he took so much trouble to build.

Sida is now speechless. She doesn’t move, she only moans helplessly. Freddy hears a quiet burble. A little puddle of fear spreads over the wooden floor from between Sida’s legs. Oh, no! This oak floor cost him a fortune. And now it will be ruined.

Freddy grabs her by the hair. He wants Sida to repeat after him that from now on she will be his faithful wife.
