Benny deduces that 312, whom [[Starll]] knows to have been a [[solar engineer]], had built a [[catafalque]] around a dying [[star|sun]] so that the system's inhabitants could escape its destruction and that the King of the Catafalque was his employer.

He agrees to allow Benny to sit in his seat as thanks, but he soon forgets about this and again asks for the pennant to be put in the wash, frustrating Benny and leaving her with nowhere to sit. She again encounters the Oldest, who is healthier in the nurse's absence, and finds that, like her, she cannot remember how she arrived at the Eternity Club.
