Kumalo arrives at the house of Barbara Smith to fulfill his promise to inquire about the daughter of a villager who came to Johannesburg as a servant to Barbara. He is shocked to find James at the house, but James does not understand Kumalo’s fear, though he senses it. Kumalo finally admits the terrible connection between their two sons, fearing James’ reaction. But James, though surprised, does not blame Kumalo for Absalom’s actions, and remains calm.
