Confused, Ulysses doesn't recognize his own son, but he feels with increasing conviction he must make an indoor odyssey from the back door of his home all the way up, one room at a time, to the marriage bedroom where his wife Hyacinth awaits, full of cancer, grieving over the deaths of her three other children, and wooed by Ulysses' arch‐rival, Chang.

The house, familiar even in its disheveled state, saves Manners and he returns to his mother.
