This character relates a story about the real-life doctor John Abernethy, who, when asked for a medical opinion, told a friend to take advice instead of medication. He claims that an example of narrow thinking is to claim all poets are fools, using as an example a boy who understood people so well that he won all of his school's marbles playing odds and ends. This character places an ad in a newspaper that is answered by a (*) sailor who has lost an exotic pet from Borneo. This man retrieves a document that was stolen by the blackmailer Minister D; by observing witnesses who claim that a murderer was speaking different languages, he deduces that the culprit of a double homicide was an Orangutan.
