The new owner, Mr. Algernon Falconer, overhears the divine (who has a mania for quoting from the ancients) quoting a passage from Homer comparing the tower to Circe's enchanted abode. Himself a lover of classical literature, Falconer invites the divine to dine with him.

At first slightly disturbed, Opimian finds that his new friend is simply a genial eccentric who wishes to avoid the world in order not to discompose the equanimity of his mind; and who spends his days reading and contemplating "ideal beauty" in the form of a shrine to St. Catherine, a Christian martyr of the third century.
