Summer began and the narrator was overloaded by work when his friend, Dirk Stroeve, came to him. He was in despair as his wife, Blanche, had committed a suicide. As it found out Strickland had left her and having not born it she drank oxalic acid. Doctors did their best but she didn’t want to live. What is more she didn’t allow anybody to see her and though Dirk kept visiting his wife she didn’t talk with him.

After horrible torments she died. Her husband was shocked and in blank despair. He had no idea where to go and what to do. At last he went to his and Blanche’s house and there he found Strickland’s picture depicting naked Blanche. Her was impressed by Strickland’s genius and asked the artist to go to Holland with him. Strickland sharply refused and Dirk Stroeve decided to go to his homeland where his parents lived. After his wife’s funerals he said goodbye to the narrator and went to Amsterdam.
