In Chapter Ten, Bertram again shows character when he allows Pauline to stay in his room and takes himself outside to sleep. However, the diligent law men of the area will not leave Bertram alone and he eventually finds himself back in the house in the previously discussed awkward position. Later, Pauline's father shows up and Bertram comes out looking like the wronged party for the first time in this volatile relationship, leaving the reader curious what this strange turn might mean for Bertram in the near future. It also suggests that people might have been wrong about Bertram all along and can ask for forgiveness, foreshadowing another time when Bertram might find himself bestowing forgiveness on someone who has wronged him.
