Section XI:

Judge Hagenthorpe is developed in this section.

Some time has passed. Jimmie has been sent to Connecticut following his recovery, and Trescott has made doctoring Henry (who is still alive). Trescott “had remained to take care of his patients, but as a matter of truth he spent most of his time at Judge Hagenthorpe's house, where lay Henry Johnson. Here he slept and ate almost every meal in the long nights and days of his vigil.”  Henry lays motionless with one “unwinking” eye uncovered. This eye unnerves the judge who pulls Trescott aside and tries to imply that perhaps Henry should be allowed to die.  Trescott seems to grasp the judge’s implication. Though he can’t seem to refuse the judge outright, Trescott keeps repeating, “He saved my boy!”
